The 2019 CUC Primary Football League (PFL) Opening Rally takes place this Saturday, September 21 beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the traditional home of local football, the T.E. McField Sports Field (Annex Field) in George Town.

Defending champions Cayman Prep look to add yet another prize to their rapidly expanding trophy cabinet as they search for a second successive Opening Rally title. The 2018 final between Cayman Prep and Prospect Primary was a tantalising affair as both schools thoroughly entertained the crowd with some dazzling football.

The Opening Rally is always highly entertaining and very competitive. Schools competing in the 2019 CUC PFL Opening Rally include Group A – Cayman International School Blue, Red Bay Primary, St. Ignatius Catholic School, Triple C School and Truth For Youth; Group B – Cayman Brac, Cayman International School White, Prospect Primary, Savannah Primary and South Sound Schools; and Group C – Bodden Town Primary, Cayman Prep, George Town Primary, NorthEast Schools and Sir John A. Cumber Primary.

The Opening Rally is an exciting, fast-paced one-day tournament with games being a short 15 minutes with no off sides.

The first round of play is the group stage with schools being divided into three zones where schools play each other once in their respective zones. The top two top schools from each zone and the two best third place schools advance to the second round – the quarter finals, which is the first knockout stage. From the quarter finals, the semi finalists are decided with the resulting two winners advancing to the final and the two losers playing for third and fourth place.

CUC encourages fans of “the powerful game” and youth sports to make their way to the T.E. McField Sports Field (Annex Field) this Saturday to cheer on the youngsters.
