GCU visits St Theresa Primary!

 
This week we travelled to St Theresa primary with one mission in our minds to bring sport back to there’s young ones

The aim of this tournament was to bring sports back to schools and give learners some fun which they so rightfully deserve. The learners were all very excited when we approached them. There are so many talented young footballers out there but they are not being recognised. These kids all love soccer and through soccer we try and teach them there is a life after soccer so if you do make it pro and retire one day you would have something to follow up on such as a degree.

Through sport we can accomplish so much more and these young ones are the key to accomplishing a future without gangsterism and drugs these kids are our future so why don’t we give them the opportunities that we never had.

The school were more than happy to have us there and we got so many compliments all round at that moment all you can do is be proud because you know you’re making an impact in someone’s life. The schools and learners were so excited to have us they could barely even wait to start the tournament. When the tournament started we all were excited to see some new talent, all the schools brought there part and just the fact that they allowed us to bring the tournament to there school we felt privileged to be there and watch our future footballers

We came to the end of an exciting journey playing the final which two teams(Super stars vs airlines) worked hard to play in. The atmosphere at the finals was a heated affair with both teams wanting the main prize. Goal came from nowhere and the final result was 3-2 to Super stars.

When we had the presentation all the learners and teachers gathered outside in the quad to enjoy the last moments with everyone who participated in the tournament, we handed out medals to the winning team as well as the runners up.

We also gave the school a small award just to show our appreciation for them giving us the opportunity to work with such amazing students

Winners: SUPER STARS

Runners up: AIRLINES

Player of the tournament: Elias

All these young ones need is to be nurtured and put on the right course in the right direction we as GCU  coaches are very proud   to be able to bring this tournaments to the different schools as we continue to go forward in faith GOD bless.
