Cayman Prep’s Under 13 girls secure the double

Cayman Prep overcame CIS (blue) in the final to lift the Dart Under 13 Girls Knockout Cup.

The young ladies from Cayman Prep secured the double this past Friday in the Dart Under 13 Girls’ high school football competition.

The league title was won on October 2nd following Prep’s 3-0 win over rivals and eventual runners- up Cayman International School (CIS) in what would turn out to be the title decider. The victory capped an undefeated run to the title for Cayman Prep with comprehensive wins over Clifton Hunter High School (CHHS), John Gray High School (JGHS) and St. Ignatius Catholic High School scoring 22 goals and conceding only two.

With only five high schools participating in the Dart Under 13 Girls’ league this year, organisers decided to include a knockout cup competition for the girls, which once again pitted Cayman Prepmagainst rivals Cayman International School in the final. The final, which was played on Friday, October 13th, was an entertaining encounter with Cayman Prep enjoying much of the possession. Ampenalty on the stroke of halftime and a second in the dying minutes of the second half was more than enough to seal the 2-0 victory for Cayman Prep and the Dart Under 13 Girls’ Knockout Cup.

Dart representative and Cayman Youth Football Leagues (CYFL) director Chloe Tathum-Ebanks was on hand following the final at the CIFA Field to present the Dart Under 13 Girls’ Knockout Cup trophy to the ecstatic and well-deserving young ladies from Cayman Prep as well as the runners-up trophy to CIS.

In the Dart Under 13 Boy’s League, CHHS A are on the brink of securing a second successive Dar tUnder 13 boys’ title with one game remaining. Something amazing needs to happen during the last set of games on Wednesday, October 18 to halt any trophy title celebrations the boys from CHHS

may be planning. With wins over JGHS, Cayman Prep 1, Cayman Prep 2, CHHS B and St. Ignatius Catholic High School and a final meeting with Triple C, the coveted Dart Under 13 Boys’ Cup may be staying in Frank Sound.

Following the conclusion of the Dart Under 13 boys’ league, the Appleby Under 18 girls and boys high school football leagues will kick-off on Wednesday, November 1st and end in December.
