Elite Primary Retain Title as Clermont Scores Four

Elite Primary School of Five Cays reaffirmed their dominance in youth football after storming to a second consecutive Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association (TCIFA) Inter-Primary League title with a commanding 4–0 victory over Eliza Simons Primary School on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at the TCIFA Field in Providenciales.

Elite Primary celebrate after receiving the championship trophy.

The final, played under clear skies and in front of an energetic crowd of students, teachers and supporters, showcased the strength of Elite’s well-drilled and confident squad as they closed the season in emphatic fashion.

From the opening whistle, Elite wasted no time asserting themselves, applying immediate pressure on the Eliza Simons back line. Their attacking intent paid off just four minutes into the match when striker Ysaac Clermont pounced on a loose ball and calmly slotted home the opener. Clermont, who has been in superb form all season, needed only three more minutes to double the lead, finishing a swift attacking move to put Elite firmly in control at 2–0.

Eliza Simons struggled to regain their footing, as Elite continued to dictate the tempo with quick passing and excellent movement off the ball.

Clermont completed his first-half hat-trick in the 15th minute with another composed finish, giving Elite a comfortable 3–0 halftime advantage. Despite Eliza Simons' efforts to reorganize during the break, Elite returned for the second half with equal determination.

Just two minutes after the restart, Clermont struck again, this time in the 17th minute of play, securing his fourth goal of the match and placing the contest well beyond reach. His commanding performance earned him the Player of the Match award and further strengthened his claim as one of the brightest young talents in primary school football. Notably, despite the intensity of the final, the match remained clean, with no cautions issued to either side.

Elite’s journey to the title match was marked by another strong performance earlier in the tournament, where they defeated Enid Capron Primary School 3–0 in their semifinal.

That win showcased the same level of discipline, tactical awareness and attacking sharpness that were on full display in the final. On the opposite side of the bracket, Eliza Simons secured their place in the championship match after overcoming Community Christian School, setting the stage for an exciting showdown between two of the competition’s most consistent teams.

In the third-place play-off, Enid Capron rebounded well, earning a tight 1–0 victory over Community Christian. The winning goal came in the 12th minute from #15 Phil Been, whose decisive strike ensured ECPS ended their campaign on the podium.

The league’s closing ceremony also included the presentation of special awards. Prudent Kervens of Elite Primary earned the Golden Gloves, recognizing his contributions throughout the season.

Ysaac Clermont, unsurprisingly, collected the Golden Boot as the leading scorer. Marcus Williams of Eliza Simons was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) for his consistent brilliance in midfield, while Elite’s head coach, Kenlove Desronvil, captured Coach of the Season honours.

The School Spirit Award went to Provo Primary School for their outstanding support and enthusiasm.

The top three teams collected medals and trophies. The officials also received medals for their efforts throughout the season.
