Red Bay Primary secure victories

With the unsettled weather continuing to play havoc during the week with high school football games, schools competing in the 2026 CUC Primary Football League (PFL) and the Girls’ Primary Football League (GPFL) were grateful for the cooler temperatures and overcast skies as they took to the fields this past Saturday, October 3.

In Group B in the CUC PFL, Red Bay Primary enjoyed home field advantage as both boys’ teams secured wins. After escaping bruising encounters with defending champions Cayman Prep 9A and Cayman Prep 11A the previous week, Red Bay’s Under 9s topped an energetic Sir John A. Cumber Primary 9C outfit 1-0 thanks to a strike from Josiah Simpson in the 25th minute.

The Under 11 match-up against Footsteps School was an extremely entertaining affair. Footsteps School’s shot stopper August Bodden was in fine form throughout the game pulling off some great saves to keep the Red Bay forwards at bay. In the 19th minute, Red Bay’s Immanuel Quina broke the deadlock as he raced away from the Footsteps backline and finished superbly past a sprawling Bodden to put his school 1-0 up.

Footsteps School levelled the score in the 34th minute after Kaitlyn Myles was the quickest to react pouncing on a blocked shot from the Red Bay goalkeeper. Not to be outdone, Red Bay quickly retook the lead in the 35th minute as defender Ozzy Patterson blasted an unstoppable shot from outside the box into the top corner past the outstretched arms of Bodden to win the game 2-1.
