Caution FC, MayGuaya United triumph at BPTT Mayaro Football League

At the end of the game, the 2–1 scoreline was enough to take Caution FC past a fighting MayGuaya United team, who were denied copping both the Knockout and League titles in the 2016 edition of this benchmark sporting event in Mayaro.

According to Caution’s captain, Keston McLeod, “it was a struggle but we came through in the end because we fought and played like a team. This year was the best ever in terms of the league competition and I have to commend the organisers and sponsors for constantly making improvements to the competition.

Now it is up to us players to use this league as a platform and step up to recapture the glory days of Mayaro football.” The knockout final also marked the formal end of the league and segued into the prizegiving ceremony, which was attended by Minister of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries, Clarence Rambharat.

“I recently had to correct someone when they said that energy companies don’t invest in our country.

I reminded them that over the years, bpTT has made invaluable investments in the development of Mayaro, including the Mayaro Resource Centre, the Mayaro Initiative for Private Enterprise Development, the Brighter Prospects scholarship programme and sporting leagues like this football league.

We need to acknowledge what bpTT has done and remember that to whom much is given, much is expected,” Rambharat explained.

Matthew Pierre, Community Liaison Officer, bpTT, represented the company in the distribution of the many trophies and prizes at the event. “More 300 players took part in the footbal league this year and I want to thank everyone who worked hard to make it a success,” he said. “I especially want to commend Illusions International Sports Club for making this league accessible to everyone with the new Under-12 division to support the Under-14, Under-16 and Senior age divisions.”
