After three intense days of youth soccer action, 72 teams will be divided into four cup sections to vie for cup glory.
With teams giving their all over three group matches each in the round-robin play-offs, their fates will be sealed ranked by greatest number of points, goal difference, most number of goals scored and a head-to-head penalty shootout, should there still be no seperation.
The 16 overall log finishers across the 18 groups will go into the Platinum Section, followed by next 16 in the Gold, third place in the Silver and fourth place in the Bronze section aming up 64 teams. First games of these matches will be played from Thursday, with finals taking place on Saturday 22 June. The last eight finishers in will also compete in the Wagiet Memorial Cup.
Tournament director and Bayview Club chair Mark Rodrigues says the expansion of the tournament is a testament of the talent of the youth.
With planning for the 12th edition already in the back of mind, Rodrigues hopes to grow the tournament even further.
“From myself, the executive and Bayview family, we would like to say thank you to all our partners who have seen this vision with us. Without your assistance we would have never come so far. Our Youth really appreciates what you do for them.”
