THE JOHN BOYCE Football Tournament is here once again.

In an opening ceremony at the Dover Playing Field on Sunday, MP for the area John Boyce said the tournament was established to improve the health of the community as well as bring communities together.

“It helps to provide necessary recreation and exercise and I know of course with my responsibility as Minister of Health I can’t help but mention the need for us all to engage in the lifestyle which includes a significant amount of activity.

“We need to fight the scourge of non-communicable diseases. The ministry and other agencies speak about this. We want to ensure by exercising we keep our bodies fit and disease free,” he said. (RG)
