Thursday, April 29, 2004 - Four players from the Castries-East Football League are to be the guests of tour operating company, Virgin Holidays at a Manchester United game in the United Kingdom.

That initiative from Virgin Holidays came about as a result of the performance of some exceptional players during a three month football tournament, involving teams form the Castries-East Constituency sponsored by that tour operating company.

Parliamentary Representative for the Castries-East constituency and Minister for Tourism, Honourable Philip J. Pierre, who presented the recipients with their airline return tickets to London on Wednesday, April 28th, 2004 at a ceremony at the Government Information Service (GIS), says this should serve as a catalyst to spur on youths of the Castries-East community.

“I really want to thank Virgin Holidays and thank the organisation that put the tournament together. This shows that there are rewards available when you do your best and you strive for the top.” Minister Pierre said.

The four exceptional players coming out of the Castries-East Football Tournament to travel to London for the Manchester United game are, Rafferty Noelien, who was selected as the most valuable player during the tournament; Ryan Esnard, best goal keeper; Hilary Charles, the most disciplined player; and Julian Nacisse, who scored the most goals.

The Castries East Football Tournament was won by the Tou-Rouge Community.
