Lyford Cay International School would like to thank Simon Townend and KPMG for their continued support of this competitive and fun annual tournament. Tournament director Craig Massey remarked "to see so many kids coming together and enjoying a competitive but fun event." "It makes it worth all the effort involved. The standard of football was very good which reflects the current high levels of football coaching across the schools." Food was on sale throughout the morning from which $700 was raised for Lyford Cay International School's adopted school in Uganda - Tent-makers Academy. The funds will be used to continue to provide breakfast and lunch for all 160 students at the school on a daily basis.
