Dow Village Government sweep Caroni District Football tournament

Dow Village Government Primary School once again proved their dominance in district football, completing a clean sweep of the Caroni District Football tournament on November 7.

The school’s Under-15 boys’ team triumphed with an impressive 5-1 victory over Enterprise Government Primary School in the finals.

The win follows their earlier successes, having already captured the Under-12 boys and Under-15 girls’ titles just a week before. The achievement marks the second time in three years that Dow Village has swept the tournament – a feat first accomplished in 2023.

Leading the charge was Elijah Austin, the tournament’s standout player and prolific striker, who scored over 20 goals throughout the competition.

His performance played a major role in securing the school’s triple crown.

Coach Edna St Louis, owner of the Golden Tigers Football Club, has been instrumental in the school’s continued success since joining the coaching team in 2024. She was ably assisted by Kim Jordan (teacher), and parents Akeem Billy and Crystal Nicholas. Under their guidance, Dow Village also captured the 2024 Under-12 boys’ title against Chaguanas RC School.

Principal Gopaul Rajcoomar expressed immense pride in his students’ achievements, commending their teamwork, discipline and dedication. He noted that the school’s consistent performance reflects the strong partnership between teachers, coaches and parents. With this victory, Dow Village Government Primary firmly cemented their reputation as a powerhouse in Caroni District school football.
