Dart Under 13 high school football returns

JGHS (maroon) girls battle it out with St. Ignatius Catholic during the 2023 season.

Now in its seventh year, the 2024 Dart Under 13 high school football leagues promise to be as action-packed and thrilling as previous years as the Islands’ seven high schools take to the fields.

Defending girl’s champions Cayman Prep & High School and two-time defending boy’s champions Clifton Hunter High School (CHHS) begin the defence of their Dart Under 13 girls’ and boys’ high school football titles on Wednesday, September 18 and Thursday, September 19 respectively as the 2024 Dart Under 13 high school football leagues kick off with a full schedule of games.

CHHS’ girls 2022 and boys 2022 and 2023 titles were the school’s first official high school football championships since the league’s inception. The wins also marked the first time in the league’s relatively short history that a government school secured the titles. In previous years, Cayman International School and Cayman Prep have dominated proceedings winning two championships each and rest assured, they will be determined to get back to winning ways.

Cayman Prep’s girls and CHHS’ boys went undefeated during the 2023 seasons on their way to clinching the prestigious Dart Cups. In addition, Cayman Prep’s girls also clinched the Dart Under 13 Girls Knockout Cup, which was introduced last season to give the young ladies more games after a relatively short league season.

The boys from John Gay High School (JGHS) were runners-up in the boy’s league while Cayman International School (CIS) grabbed third place. In the girl’s league, CIS finished runners-up and CHHS finished third.

The Dart Under 13 leagues will continue every Wednesday and Thursday until the mid-term break in October at venues across the Island including the Annex Field, CIFA Field, Haig Bodden Field, Camana Bay Sports Complex, St. Ignatius Catholic Field, Academy Field and the Clifton Hunter High School Field. Start times are between 3:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
