In the second round of games, SPRCS defeated the San Narciso Roman Catholic School from Corozal with a score of 1-0, advancing them to the final round, where they faced SERCS. After a heated game, the SPRCS boys emerged as the winners, defeating SERCS 2-1 and becoming the champions.
After the game, SPRCS received trophies and medals, while two players were recognized for their outstanding performance. Jayden Martinez was awarded the best goalkeeper, and Daniel Caliz was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Following the Bishop’s Cup finals, Abimael Waight, president of the Catholic Primary School Association, expressed the impact of the sporting events, saying, “It has been one of the most important and dynamic events of the year. We have witnessed teams representing each district from the country, culminating in the final rounds of games. Today has been an excellent day, and we plan to continue organizing events like these for students from around the country. Next year, we want to see greater things happen for our children. I would like to thank all those who participated and the parents for supporting their children in activities like these.”
