THE Val Turton/Carl Osborne Foundation will host an Intercol Fiesta on October 24 at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella.
The Intercol Fiesta is intended to recapture the glory days of Naparima College, Presentation College, QRC and St Mary’s when they vied for the Cow and Gate Cup.
Naparima will play Presentation at 9 am while QRC will take on St Mary’s immediately after. The winner of each will play in the final at 4.15 pm.
There will be live entertainment and other fun activities throughout the day. Admission for students is $10 and $20 for adults. The Intercol Fiesta has the full support of the Secondary Schools Football League and is the result of an invitation by Mayor of San Fernando Kenneth Ferguson to make the event part of the city’s annual celebrations.
The Val Turton/Carl Osborne Foundation originated in 2001 when past students of Naparima and Presentation Colleges decided to honour their colleagues Val Turton and Carl Osborne by making positive contributions to the development of football in south.
Val Turton was a member of a popular sporting family in San Fernando and played football for Presentation College, Juniors Sports Club, Maple Sports Club, the Southern Amateur Football Association (SAFA) and was a member of the national team. Osborne played for his school Naparima College, Juniors Sports Club and SAFA. He also coached Naparima and Presentation to national intercol and league championships.
The officers of the foundation are: Dr Jean Ramjohn-Richards (Patron); Ken Davis (President), Adrian Chandler, Dennis Turton (Vice-Presidents); Guy Ottley (Secretary-Treasurer); Fred Thornhill (PRO); Joel Edwards (Director).
