Caradale Primary School’s under-12 and under-13 boys’ sides won the annual Curro Century City 5-a-side primary schools soccer tournament, at the weekend. The under-13s won back-to back titles in 2022 and 2023 as well as in 2019, just before the Covid-19 pandemic brought all sporting activities to a standstill.
