In a spirited showcase of young talent, Saltus Grammar School secured the Bermuda School Sports Federation (BSSF) Primary School Six‑a‑Side A Division championship by defeating St. George’s Preparatory 4‑1 in the final held at the island’s primary sports field. The match, which drew a lively crowd of parents and coaches, highlighted the strong football culture that thrives in Bermuda’s schools.
Peter McGeever was the star for Saltus, netting two goals, while teammates Maddox Seymour‑Durham and Moss Shreeve added one each. St. George’s Prep managed a single goal through Aalun Crockwell, but could not keep pace with the Saltus attack.

Saltus Grammar’s triumph will be celebrated in a small ceremony at the school’s hall, where the coaching team will present the trophy to the players. The win also positions Saltus as a benchmark for other primary schools aiming to elevate their football programs.
"It’s a proud moment for the school and the community," said a representative of the Bermuda Sports Council. "The dedication of the students and coaches is evident and will inspire future generations of Bermudian footballers."
