2025 CUC PFL/GPFL: Week 4 Review

Sir JAC and Joanna Clarke Primary weather the storm

With Grand Cayman experiencing a ‘deluge’ this past Saturday, October 11, a large number of games
in the CUC Primary Football League (PFL) and Girls’ Primary Football League (GPFL) were abandoned or postponed due to lightning, heavy rains and flooded fields.

In Group A in the CUC PFL, Sir John A. Cumber Primary were able to travel to Savannah to face
Joanna Clarke Primary. The Under 9s kicked off the early game in favourable conditions only to face
the turbulent weather conditions halfway through the game. With the officials and coaches in
agreement to continue the game despite the heavy bands of rain, Joanna Clarke Primary eventually
prevailed over Sir John A. Cumber Primary 9A 2-1.

In the Under 11 game, Sir John A. Cumber Primary exacted some revenge on their opponents as they
defeated their hosts 3-1.

In Group B, Cayman Prep 9A were able to navigate through their game with Sir John A. Cumber 9B,
defeating their young West Bay opponents 4-0 (respect rule enforced).

The remaining games in Groups A and B were either abandoned or postponed due to the weather.

In the GPFL division in Group A, the young ladies from Sir John A. Cumber Primary showed they could handle the wet conditions better than their hosts as they downed Joanna Clarke Primary 2-1.

The remaining games in the GPFL were postponed.

With the mid-term break looming on Friday, October 17 for a majority of schools, a number of games
in Group A were re-scheduled and played this past week. In the Under 9 division, St. Ignatius Catholic downed neighbours Cayman Prep 9B 2-1 (played on Tuesday, October 7) and Marie Martin Primary and CIS 9 White battled to a 1-1 draw (played on Wednesday, October 8). In the Under 11 division, St. Ignatius Catholic and Cayman Prep 11B drew 1-1 (played on Thursday October 9) and Marie Martin Primary got the better of CIS 11 White 4-0 (respect rule enforced) (played on Wednesday, October 8).

Due to an increased number of schools participating in Group A this year, organisers had no choice but to schedule games on the first Saturday (October 18) of the mid-term break. Games scheduled for this Saturday will be played at the Annex Field, Camana Bay SC and the West Bay Town Hall Field.
