St. Agnes Primary crowned Courts Pee Wee champions

Since the 2016 heartbreak of a 0-1 loss to neighbours St. Angela’s Primary, the lads of St. Agnes Primary have played every match in the Courts Pee Wee tournament with a desire to make amends.

Three years later, they can breathe a sigh of relief since they are no longer runners-up, but rather champions of the eight edition of the tournament, which was co-sponsored by Banks DIH through the Malta Supreme brand.

Title triumph was achieved at the Ministry of Education ground on Saturday when they edged Genesis Harmony Primary 1-0 in the final.

With the match headed to the uncertainty of penalty kicks, captain Darius Chester, who was voted the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, scored during extra time (45^th minute) after the countless chances they had created in regulation time.

For their efforts, St. Agnes went home with a 55-inch flat screen television and the championship trophy, while Genesis won a 43-inch and the corresponding trophy and medals for their finish. Their goalkeeper, Sundya Grandison won the Best Keeper title.

In the third place playoff, Soesdyke defeated Tucville 1-0 with Jaden Tasher scoring in the 49th minute.

St. Pius Primary Jamal Fraser won the most goals awards with his 18 conversions.

Meanwhile, Timehri Primary finished fifth after a walkover from St. Pius and West Ruimveldt ended seventh after topping Redeemer 2-1.

St. Ambrose won 4-2 on penalty kicks after their tie with Marian Academy ended 2-2 for ninth place spot, while Mae’s defeated Stephen’s 2-1 to finish eleventh.
