Paving the way for this progression was SV United’s capture of the Under-13 division of the National Lotteries Authority/Flow/ Kirk Da Silva Marriaqua League, which concluded August 28, at the Cane End Playing Field.

SV United clobbered Greiggs FC 8-1 on the day, to lift the title.

And, when it got to the individual awards, SV United also was on top, taking three of the four which were at stake.

Emi Balcombe was adjudged the Best Defender; Shemron Phillips – Best Midfielder and Jermain Jarvis – Best Goalkeeper, were the awards locked in by SV United.

The other award presented at the closing ceremony was grasped by Greiggs FC’s Racheem Delpesche, who took the ward for Most Goals. Delpesche scored a total of 14 goals.

Responsible for keeping the SV United clan together is first vice-president of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation Otashie Spring.

An advocate for more levelling of the playing field in national representation, Spring would like to see more teams and players emerge from the “country” and be greater recognized.
