For­mer na­tion­al and El Do­ra­do strik­er Stern John will be among sev­er­al play­ers who will at­tempt to roll back the years at Sun­day's Ari­ma Bor­ough Cor­po­ra­tion Over 40 In­ter-Col Foot­ball Tour­na­ment at the Ari­ma Velo­drome.

The tour­na­ment which was an­nounced on Tues­day, will fea­ture six teams- Ari­ma Sec­ondary, Fa­ti­ma Col­lege, Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege (Ch­agua­nas), Las Lo­mas Unit­ed and Queen's Roy­al Col­lege, is part of the Ari­ma Bor­ough Day cel­e­bra­tions the day be­fore, and is set to bring out the schools stars of yes­ter­year, such as, Sean Ros­ales, Mar­lon James and John (El Do­ra­do), for­mer Min­is­ter of Sports and Youth Af­fairs Anil Roberts, Garvin Mc Knight and Garvin Prescott (Fa­ti­ma Col­lege), Sher­win 'Tety' George and Sean Fred­er­icks (Ari­ma Sec­ondary), Randy Har­ris and Al­lan Hem Lee of Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege, Ch­agua­nas, and from QRC, Travis Mul­raine, Mar­lon Springer and An­dre Williams, the win­ning cap­tain of QRC's 1991 suc­cess­ful team.

Ari­ma May­or Lisa Mor­ris Ju­lian is the brain­child of the com­pe­ti­tion and has made avail­able a cash prize of $3,000 and a tro­phy for the win­ning team, and $2,000 and a tro­phy for the run­ner-up. The third-place team will al­so re­ceive a cheque for $1,000 and a tro­phy.

The for­mat of the com­pe­ti­tion will be a round-robin one, in which the teams will play each oth­er for points, and the team with the most points will de­ter­mine the win­ner. El Do­ra­do coach Samuel Joseph is al­ready boast­ing of tak­ing the tro­phy back to the 'City of Gold' as he refers to his school. He said in ad­di­tion to John, the coun­try's lead­ing goalscor­er, his team may al­so fea­ture Clay­ton Ince and David Grimes, both of whom stood out in the 1990s.

QRC's ros­ter will al­so com­prise Nicholas Mar­tinez, Ros­ton Haynes, Nigel All­sop, Sher­win Con­liffe and Ryan Williams, all ex stars in the 1990s.

Ari­ma Bor­ough Day cel­e­bra­tions so one can understand having Ari­ma Sec­ondary in the mix, however, it would be interesting to learn what was the basis for the inclusion of the 5 other colleges named. There is the absence of a south college or even another east secondary school like St. Augustine or possibly Malick. 

Mind you it is their thing and they could do what they want but they are doing it with public funds so in my view it should be an equal opportunity approach and appears to be a 'fren ting'.
