Minister Beache said that now that the games are over, efforts would be concentrated towards proper utilisation of the upgraded fields, mainly Arnos Vale, Stubbs and Sion Hill. He said, at present, there is a review being done by a major football club out of the England for the possibility of a football school being based here. He said there are some logistics that had to be debated before a decision was made.
