Newly-crowned BICO Primary Schools’ football champions Wilkie Cumberbatch had a chance to meet one of their heroes at Kensington Oval on Monday.
Emmerson Boyce (back row, fifth left), captain of 2013 English FA Cup winners Wigan Athletic, joined the youngsters in a team picture after his local franchise team Bajan Elite played Premier League leaders Barbados Defence Force.
The programme, which was organized by the Barbados Tourism Authority, also included a meet and greet session with fans.
Boyce, who was born in England to Barbadian parents, also plans to launch his foundation for less fortunate children in the island.
