KPMG FOOTBALL FEST 2015
By Charles Allan, 9th Grade Student
LCIS Blue Team & Shield Champions
The Lyford Cay International School
(LCIS) school grounds were buzzing
on January 29, 2015 as we eagerly
awaited the arrival of football players
from The Cayman Islands, Turks and
Caicos, Jamaica, British Virgin Islands,
The Bahamas, and Barbados. LCIS was
delighted to host the KPMG Football
Fest for the third year with a record 90
participants. LCIS put in two girls teams
and two boys teams to participate in this
highly competitive 6 on 6 tournament.
Lots of school spirit was shown on
Friday as students left their classes to
encourage the teams. Younger students
participated as ball boys on both pitches.
Families cheered from the sidelines,
hosted international participants in their
homes and shared a little of our beautiful
island and Bahamian hospitality.
It was two great days of intense football
and cultural sharing.
Our school
community got to see familiar faces
and to make new friends. The outcome
of the tournament was a success for
LCIS as we had winners in the Cup and
Shield Finals. Celebrations continued at
Goodfellow Farms on the final evening as
teams gathered to watch a slideshow of
the past two days of events and to share
a delicious meal. All teams are looking
forward to participating next year. Here
are some of the words and photos from
our friends from the pitch.
