Bolepa who had an outstanding final match said they were elated to finally win the tournament. “We prepared well for the competition. We missed it last year. We told ourselves that it was our time to win something for the school and we did. All the schools that we faced in the group stages were tough and we are just happy to have won.”
Headmaster of Mitchell House, Andrew Cook thanked all the schools for showing great sportsmanship during the tournament.
“It was a good tournament. An opportunity for aspiring young soccer players to showcase their talent. We are pleased that as a school we were able to bring all the children together to socialise and put their energy to good use,” Cook said.
