The Sports Division in collaboration with the National Bank of Dominica Ltd (NBD) will be commencing the 2012 NBD Primary Schools under 13 Football District Championship from May 26th to 31st 2012.
This year’s District Championship will feature 16 of the best teams across nine zones, and each team will undergo a period of training before the actual competition.
Sports Coordinator, Trevor Shillingford, stated that there has been a significant increase in participation among the schools. “We continue to see the impact that this championship is having and thank NBD for their support,” he added.
Executive Manager for Marketing at NBD, Suzanne Joseph – Piper commended the efforts of the Sports Division, as well as the players for all their hard work. “NBD continues to make youth development a priority, and have identified Sports as an ideal medium through which positive values can be instilled in our young people. Activities like the Under 13 football championship serve as a training ground for future football starts!”
Earlier this year, NBD donated over $12,000 to the Sports Division towards the staging of the Primary School under 13 championship. This marked the Bank’s third year of partnership with the Sports Division. Approximately 50 schools participated in the first leg of the competition, which closed in March.
Congratulations go to every participating school team, but especially the St. Luke’s Primary School for winning this year’s championship title
