Island Primary won all three of their Group A meetings with Cayman Prep in Week 7 of the 2026 CUC Primary Football League (PFL) and Girls' Primary Football League (GPFL), two of them by a single goal. The games were played on Saturday, 7 November, with only a few weeks of the season remaining, according to the league's weekly review.

The league billed the fixture as small on score and big on excitement, and the numbers bear out the first half of that description. The three games between the two schools produced four goals in total, one of them an own goal, and Cayman Prep did not score in any of them.

One strike settles the Under 11s

The Under 11 game between Island Primary 11B and Cayman Prep 11B was the closest contest of the three, and it was goalless for 40 minutes. In the 41st minute Jovanni 'JJ' Waweru met a well-placed cross and swept his shot into the top corner to give hosts Island Primary a 1-0 win.

The league's review described the performance as one of Cayman Prep 11B's best of the year. It said the side competed in nearly every area of the field and that their determined defending repeatedly frustrated the Island Primary attackers.

In the Under 9 game, Island Primary 9A beat Cayman Prep 9B 1-0, the only goal an own goal in the 11th minute. Island Primary GA completed the set with a 2-0 win over Cayman Prep GB in the GPFL.

A mixed day across seven Island Primary teams

Island Primary had seven teams in action across the two leagues, and the three wins over Cayman Prep were their only victories of the day. In Group B, Island Primary 11A drew 0-0 with Prospect Primary, while Island Primary 9B lost 3-0 to the same school in the Under 9 division.

Island Primary 9C lost to NorthEast Schools in a game recorded as 4-0 under the league's respect rule. In the GPFL, Island Primary GC were beaten 1-0 by NorthEast Schools, which left the school with three wins, one draw and three defeats from its seven games.

Cayman Prep's two A teams fared better than the sides that faced Island Primary. Cayman Prep 9A's win over Sir John A. Cumber Primary 9B was recorded as 4-0 and Cayman Prep 11A's win over Footsteps School as 5-1, both under the respect rule.

Three from three for Cayman International School

Cayman International School won all three of its games on the day, each of them against Joanna Clarke Primary. The Under 9s won 3-1, the Under 11s won 5-1 and the girls got past their opponents 1-0, giving the school nine goals scored and two conceded.

Marie Martin Primary also took both of its PFL games, without conceding. The Under 9s beat Theoline L. McCoy Primary 3-0, and the Under 11s' win over the same school was recorded as 4-0 under the respect rule.

Red Bay Primary also won twice, beating First Baptist CS in both Group B divisions by a single goal. The Under 9s edged their game 2-1 and the Under 11s won 1-0.

Prospect Primary went through the day without conceding a goal. The school's Under 9s beat Island Primary 9B 3-0 and its Under 11s held Island Primary 11A to a 0-0 draw, the only PFL game of the week to finish without a goal.

Honours shared between Sir John A. Cumber and St. Ignatius

The three meetings between Sir John A. Cumber Primary and St. Ignatius Catholic in Group A produced one win each and a draw. Sir John A. Cumber Primary 9A won the Under 9 game 5-1, St. Ignatius Catholic edged the Under 11 game 2-1, and the two schools' girls played to a 0-0 draw.

NorthEast Schools also had a mixed day across three games. Alongside the wins over Island Primary 9C and Island Primary GC, the school's Under 11s lost to Cayman Brac in a game recorded as 4-0 under the respect rule.

Fine margins

The league's review reported 20 results in all, 16 in the PFL and four in the GPFL. Seven of those games were decided by a single goal and two finished 0-0, meaning nine of the 20 were either level or separated by one goal at the final whistle.

Five results were recorded under the respect rule, four of them in Group B and all of them in the PFL. The review does not set out how the rule operates, and the scores are reported here as the league published them.

The girls' competition was the tightest of all. Three of the four GPFL results were 1-0 or 0-0, and Island Primary GA's 2-0 win over Cayman Prep GB was the widest margin of the day in that league.

Next fixtures

Week 8 games are scheduled for Saturday, 14 November. The league listed the venues as the Annex Field, Island Primary, St. Ignatius, First Baptist CS, Prospect Primary, Ronald Forbes Field, Red Bay Primary and Camana Bay SC.

The PFL and GPFL are coordinated by the Cayman Youth Football Leagues organisation, which said in its review that schools are beginning to find their rhythm as they chase points in the final weeks. The competitions are sponsored by Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd.
