Coach satisfied with team’s performance
The Champs!!! Scotiabank/Pepsi 2012 School Football Academy Champions North Georgetown Secondary in a jubilant mood at the GCC Ground following their championship win.
North Georgetown Secondary School (NGSS) female football team Coach Celeste Mullin has disclosed that she is satisfied with her side’s performance following the conclusion of the 2012 edition of the Scotiabank/Pepsi School’s Football Academy Tournament, last weekend.
NGSS repeated as champions for the second successive year and Mullin said she was elated that they rose above the many challenges that confronted them to lift the championship trophy again.
Speaking with Kaieteur Sport, Mullin shared that the girls played with a lot of determination, aggression and patience; attributes which saw them through. They were also happy to have faced Tucville in the final.
Mullin who was rewarded by the Guyana Sports Development Foundation (GSDF) as the female Coach of the Year noted that that some of the players were extremely tired from their semi-final game against Campbellville Secondary which was played the day before the final.
North Georgetown Secondary defeated Tucville 2-0 to win the championship.
Reflecting on what they did to be successful, Mullin said that they would normally train everyday during the tournament but towards the end of the term that was curtailed as a result of end of term examinations.
The team found it tough to score in the first half of a close battle but the deadlock was broken by the multi talented Mariska Corbin who is also a National athlete and member of the Mercury Fast Laners (MFL) Athletic Club.
Corbin rocked the nets in the 48th minute from the 6 yards box. Putting the icing on the cake was Lady Jag Under-17 player Althea Holligan in the 54th minute; her goal securing the championship.
The talented Holligan is also one of the 11 players of the Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Academy tournament All Star team.
