Arouca Beatniks, once a household name in East Trinidad in the sport of football, is returning to prominence after winning three titles this year alone.

Previously a successful campaigner in the Eddie Hart Football League in the Under-14, U-16, and U-19 Divisions under then-coach Eddie Stanford, Arouca Beatniks made major strides by claiming the national Under-17 crown, as well as the East Zone U-17 and Under-20 titles under Coach Kerron Hercules, an understudy of Stanford.
