THE “WESTMOORINGS Tigers” St Anthony’s finished third at the Copa Coca Cola, which took place recently in Bogota, Colombia.
According to a media release, “the young team represented Trinidad and Tobago well amongst other teams from Honduras, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic. They made their mark in Bogota and, in doing so, earned themselves a world-class experience.”
St Anthony’s were abroad from October 18-22 and the trip afforded the teenagers “a chance to play with some of the most outstanding high schools from the Caribbean and Central America.”
The TT players shared their culture with their peers, attended an international fair, visited a local site Salitre Magico and dined at the world-famous restaurant Andres DC.
Coca Cola’s franchise brand manager Roberto Lapeira commented, “Coca Cola is very proud of the Tigers. They played some of the best football in the entire tournament.
“Their drive and passion for the game makes them a team to be reckoned with,” he added.
“We are very happy with the tournament this year and look forward to further developing active, healthy lifestyles among Trinidad and Tobago’s youth and we would like to reassure our commitment to the Secondary Schools Football League by continuing our efforts with the Coca Cola Intercol and Copa Coca Cola.”
