On Tuesday, ANSA McAL’s Director Troy Codogan presented a sponsorship of G$1,260,000 in support of the tournament.
Troy Mendonca, Director of Petra Organisation, expressed gratitude to ANSA McAL for its enduring support.
He used the opportunity to highlight the tournament’s significant growth, evolving from a modest event with three teams, including a single foreign team, to this year’s expanded line-up of eight participating teams.

The Jamaicans will join teams from Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, who will battle against the top teams from Guyana.

The top school will cop a prize of US$2,500, followed by US$1,500 (second), US$1,000 (third), and US$500 (fourth).
Matches will be staged at the Ministry of Education Ground, Carifesta Avenue, and Queen’s College Ground.
