In a type of accommodation, System Three teams played on behalf of Largo Height in the National Club Championships staged by the Tournaments’ Committee of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation (SVGFF).

System Three, without the prerequisite licence from the SVGFF, was able to field teams, and as such, Largo Height won the Female Division, with the Boys team placing third in the Under-15 Division.

President of the LHFC, Clive Lowe, stated unequivocally “the players have achieved much and they should be rewarded immediately”.

Lowe’s emphasised on rewarding the teams immediately, regardless of funds from the Federation, reflects a commitment to value the achievements of the players.

“This not only boosts morale, but also serves as a motivating factor for the teams to continue their hard work and strive for higher goals,” Lowe commented.

Meanwhile, Head Coach of the LHFC Nicholas Ollivierre, weighed in on the gesture.

“The dedication of both teams was exemplified in their results, their performance was great,” he noted.

Ollivierre’s acknowledgment of the teams’ dedication and excellent performance further reinforce

the importance of expressing gratitude within the football community.

“ It’s clear that Largo Height Football Club values the efforts of its players and coaches and is committed to nurturing a culture of appreciation and camaraderie,” Ollivierre related.

He further encouraged the teams to continue to progress and work even harder to achieve higher goals.
