Here’s a tightened, cleaned-up version of your statement — keeps your voice and message, but with proper flow and punctuation:
—
When we think of the SSFL, we often think of the Premiership Division — all the glitz and glamour of venues like Serpentine Road, Lewis Street, Mucurapo Road, Westmoorings, and Gordon Street, et al.
What we often overlook are the lower division schools in the Championship, U20 Senior Division, and even the Girls Championship that don’t get the rightful publicity they deserve.
I am Fyzabad born and bred and a true supporter of Fyzo talent. I attended and played for Fyzabad Anglican Secondary in the late 90s, and I was a member of the coaching staff of Fyzabad Secondary during their stint in the Premiership back in 2015. I would say there is no more iconic SSFL venue than the now derelict Petrotrin Sports Club in Fyzabad. Sadly, it is no more.
The new venue is now the community-centric Delhi Road Recreation Ground, aka D’Gallows. It boasts historical significance — from the Black Power days to birthing many national team talents and SSFL legends.
It is heartening to see a revival of crowd support for Fyzo football, with hundreds at this venue. Parents, teachers, students, and the community come together to support our boys and girls weekly and daily, by the hundreds.
Where else would you find U14 and U16 games playing at 10 a.m. on a workday, attracting 200 to 300 people supporting, sans schoolmates? Boys U20 and Girls Championship teams have crowds of over 500 watching — so much so that members of the community have even benefited through enterprise, with fresh pies, pholourie, and other refreshments on sale.
It is truly a sight to behold that one community has this much love for student-athletes.
They say, “What good can come from Fyzabad?” I say, come for yourself and see… Fyzabad is Fyzo-good!
