Capisterre, St Kitts, 3rd August 2017 - It was all smiles, excitement, and a display of impressive football skills when the 2017 Capisterre Development Football League (CFDL) kicked off last weekend.
On Friday 28th July, all participating teams were presented with official league jerseys at a small ceremony held on the lawn next to the National Bank ATM in St Paul’s. The following day, Saturday 29th July, the excitement moved to the Old Recreation ground in St. Paul’s for the opening ceremony and the first two games.
During the ceremony, prizes and trophies were presented to last year’s winners of special categories. These include ‘Best Youngest Footballer’, ‘Golden Boot’, ‘Golder Glove’, and ‘Most Valuable Player’ (MVP).
The organizers also presented a memorial plaque to the mother of Jahma James, one of the league’s fallen players and recognized and honoured Thrizen Leader, for his continued valuable contribution to the sport since 2003. Thrizen has been a member of the SL Horsford’s St Paul’s FC and St Kitts-Nevis National football team. John ‘Tuffy’ Gumbs and Magarette ‘Mouche’ Levine were also awarded for their unwavering support to the sporting fraternity in St Paul’s.
