The 2024 season marks CUC’s 18th year as exclusive sponsors of these flourishing youth football leagues.
In the CUC PFL Under 9 division, defending 2024 league champions Prospect Primary look to retain their title they bravely rested from four-time champions Cayman Prep 9A following an exhilarating final.

In what has become a tradition of winning, the CUC PFL Under 11 division defending 2023 league champions Cayman Prep 11A look to continue their dominance in this age group as they go for a record-setting eighth consecutive league title. Their dominance over the years was exhibited in the 2023 final as they put a talented St. Ignatius Catholic outfit to the ‘sword’ with an impressive 6-2 win.
Under 11 Consolation Cup champions Sir John A. Cumber Primary are looking to go one better this year as they vie for the coveted Under 11 league championship, a title that has eluded them for a number of years.
