Dow Village Government Primary School has once again demonstrated its supremacy in district football by securing a clean sweep at the Caroni District Football tournament on November 7. The school’s Under-15 boys’ team clinched the championship with a commanding 5-1 victory over Enterprise Government Primary School in the finals. This triumph adds to their earlier successes, as they had already claimed the Under-12 boys’ and Under-15 girls’ titles just a week prior. This remarkable achievement marks the second time in three years that Dow Village has swept the tournament, a feat first accomplished in 2023. Leading the charge was Elijah Austin, the tournament’s standout player and prolific striker, who scored over 20 goals throughout the competition. His exceptional performance was pivotal in securing the school’s triple crown. Coach Edna St Louis, owner of the Golden Tigers Football Club, has been a key figure in the school’s continued success since joining the coaching team in 2024. She was supported by Kim Jordan (teacher), and parents Akeem Billy and Crystal Nicholas. Under their guidance, Dow Village also captured the 2024 Under-12 boys’ title against Chaguanas RC School. Principal Gopaul Rajcoomar expressed immense pride in his students’ achievements, praising their teamwork, discipline, and dedication. He highlighted that the school’s consistent performance is a testament to the strong partnership between teachers, coaches, and parents. With this victory, Dow Village Government Primary School has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in Caroni District school football.
