(PFL): The 2018 CUC Primary Football League (PFL) and CUC Girls’ Primary Football League (GPFL) semifinals concluded this past Saturday, 1 December at the Annex Field in the Under 9 and Under 11 Champions and Consolation Cups. The six finals and two third-place games are set for this Saturday, 8 December at the Annex Field.
GPFL Consolation Cup:
In one of the day’s most competitive games, the young ladies from Bodden Town Primary ‘punched their ticket’ for the final after overcoming St Ignatius Catholic School 1-0 in a tense penalty shootout. Following a goalless 40 minutes and two five-minute extra-time periods, Bodden Town’s young goalkeeper made two magnificent saves during the penalty shootout to send her school through to the final.
Bodden Town Primary will face South Sound Schools in the final after South Sound Schools were 2-0 victors in their semifinal encounter against George Town Primary. A goal apiece from Harper Nelson in the 27th minute and Milanna Lamontagne in the 31st minute were enough to see off a very competitive and determined George Town Primary outfit.
GPFL Champions Cup:
Defending 2017 GPFL Champions Cup champions Cayman Prep will face defending 2017 Consolation Cup champions Savannah Primary in this Saturday’s final. Cayman Prep were 4-0 victors over Cayman International School thanks to a double from Milly Hoffman in the fourth and 39th minutes and a goal each from Jasmine Woodford in the 30th minute and Olivia Thorpe in the 34th minute.
Savannah Primary’s Rhian Best scored in the final minute of extra time to break the young hearts of the ladies from Sir John A. Cumber Primary in a very close and thrilling 1-0 game.

The 2018 Under 11 Champions Cup final and third-place games will mirror those of 2017 as defending champions Cayman Prep will again face Cayman International School 11White for the Under 11 title and Red Bay Primary will play St Ignatius for third place.
