The Vermont Football Club won their first three games in the South Leeward Inter-Village Competition.
The games took place between May 19th to June 3rd.
In their first game against Largo Height, on May 19th,2023, they finished 1-0, followed by their second game against Rose Place, May 24th,2023, where they finished 2-1, and their third game against Sandy Gully, June 3rd, 2023, where they finished 3-0.
The tournament continues and games are being played at the Campden Park playing field.
In an interview, the Vermont Football Club Mentor Shannan John said she looks forward to the team securing the trophy.
“So far the team has been doing excellent; working as a team and even beating last year’s championship winner – Rose Place”, she said.
She said, “My hopes for this year, especially for the competition, is not only to win and put Vermont Football Club at the top but to also show my community and neighboring communities that what started off as a simple project continues to grow into something big and anyone can do the same for their own community.”
The Vermont Football Club (sponsored by CEDCO) was started in September 2022, as part of John’s Community Based Project in the Miss SVG Pageant.
According to John, football became her focus because of its global recognition.
“It is a highly respected sport due to the fact that it requires a lot of discipline and teamwork in order to achieve the main goal of winning a match. These attributes are needed in real life as well and can be applied,” she added.
The Vermont FC will play against the Lower Questelles football team, June 8, 2023, 4:30 pm at the Campden Park playing field.
