HEADMASTER’S
FOREWORD On behalf of the Rector, Staff and pupils of
St George's College it is my pleasure to
welcome you all to the St George's College
U20 Soccer Tournament kindly sponsored
again by Hammer and Tongues. Without
their generosity it would not be easy to host
a tournament of this nature and I thank Mr
Brian Makwabarara and Hammer and
Tongues, as principal sponsor.
Many people have been involved with the
organisation of the tournament and I wish to
thank Mr Goodrich Tshuma (Teacher in
Charge), the Parents’ Committee, Mr Mini Mac-
donald and Grounds Staff, Mr Ken Purse, Ms
Tabeth Zvidzwa and Functions Team, Sr Debrah
Mwatse and Mars Medical Team, Match Officials, St George's College Soccer
parents (especially the mums), our tournament sponsors and St George's
College Soccer Staff. The games would not take place without the assistance
of everyone involved and I thank them all for their contributions, in advance, in
making for a successful tournament.
I welcome all players to the St George's College U20 Soccer Tournament, I hope
you all have a rewarding weekend of games.
