The action was fierce this past Saturday, November 7th as the 2015/2016 CUC Primary Football League (PFL) and Girls’ Primary Football League (GPFL) regular seasons resumed play following the private schools’ mid-term break.

The featured games in Group A at the Dart Field in Camana Bay saw Cayman International School up against George Town Primary.

In the Under 9 match-up, Cayman International’s Toby Johns scored a hat trick with two of his three goals coming in the first six minutes of play. Chad Murphy added to his team’s tally with a fourth goal and Danny Lyne rounded off the scoring to record a 5-0 win and an official 4-0 ‘mercy rule’ victory over the youngsters from the capitol.

In the Girls’ Primary Football League (GPFL) game between the two schools, the young ladies from

Cayman International School recorded their third victory of the season to remain undefeated with a

4-0 ‘mercy rule’ victory over the young ladies from George Town Primary.

Cayman International ‘s ladies were tenacious from the starting whistle, quickly scoring three goals as George Town Primary struggled to get a grip on the game. With the score 5-0 at half time and the scoring officially over according to the ‘mercy rule’, George Town Primary were determined to show that they have improved as the season has progressed. Their play during the second half was much better as they passed the ball around and occasionally troubled the Cayman International School defence.

In the Under 11 game, it was the outstanding Toby Johns taking centre stage as he scored his school’s second goal and his fourth of the morning as Cayman International defeated George Town Primary 2-0. Andrew Weber opened the scoring in the 25th minute before young Johns sealed the victory in the 58th minute.

As with the girls, the boys from George Town Primary have improved immensely during the course of the season and will be looking for further improvement as they battle Savannah Primary this coming Saturday.
