Some of the island’s brightest young football talent took to the pitch at the Flora Duffy National Stadium on Saturday as the western half of the island took on the east in a string of all-star games.

Six matches took place at Primary, Middle and Senior School levels for boys and girls as players from various establishments and clubs got the chance to play together, some for the first time.

Here is a rundown of the results.

Primary School Girls

The East continued their winning ways when defeating the west in a much tighter game than the opener.

Jacree Francis from Port Royal gave the West an early lead before Francis Patton duo Cyme Dowling and Titan Pogson both scored to put the East in front. Shiloh Stevens, from Prospect Primary, extended East’s advantage before they conceded a late own goal.

Austin Viera, from Harrington Sound, and Warwick Academy’s Cree Bean were named MVPs for the match.
