Prospect Primary edge Cayman Brac in thriller

Action in the CUC GPFL between St. Ignatius Catholic (purple) and Red Bay Primary

Week 3 of the 2023 CUC Primary Football League (PFL) and the Girls’ Primary Football League (GPFL) presented a number of interesting match-ups and, as in most cases, schools didn’t disappoint.

In Group B in the CUC PFL, Cayman Brac flew in to take on Prospect Primary’s Under 11s in Prospect. Smarting from their impressive 4-1 defeat of NorthEast School the previous week, confidence was expectedly high in the Brac camp but Prospect Primary, playing on their home turf, had other intentions.

Cayman Brac’s young goal keeper was exceptional in the opening stages, pulling off two world-class saves at full-stretch to deny the Prospect forwards. Gaining in confidence, Prospect Primary’s energetic Kailan Webb finally opened the scoring for the home school in the 22nd minute as he finished off a brilliant run with an unstoppable shot. 1-0 to Prospect Primary.

Cayman Brac were not without their chances but failure to capitalise on their efforts cost them dearly. In the 29th minute, Kailan Webb grabbed his and his school’s second with another blistering drive and that’s how it ended – 2-0 to Prospect Primary.

In other Under 11 scores in Group B, Cayman Prep 11A got by Small Schools 6-2 (respect rule) and Red Bay Primary defeated NorthEast Schools 2-0. In the Under 9 division, Cayman Prep 9A beat Small Schools 5-1 (respect rule) and Footsteps School downed Red Bay Primary 1-0.

In Group A in Under 9 play, Sir John A. Cumber Primary beat Cayman Prep 9B 5-1, Cayman International School got the better of Island Primary 4-0 (respect rule) and George Town Primary edged Joanna Clarke Primary 2-1. In the Under 11s, Cayman Prep 11B defeated Sir John A. Cumber Primary 5-1 (respect rule), Cayman International School outgunned Island Primary 4-0 (respect rule), Joanna Clarke Primary outscored George Town Primary 3-2 and St. Ignatius Catholic downed Cayman Prep 11C 4-0.
