Digicel Nationwide Schools Football Competition…Brickdam marches on

Jun 23, 2012 Sports

– Bladen Hall, B/ce High, Charity, Hosororo among recent winners

Brickdam led by a double each from Travis Brandis, who netted in the 16th and 70th minutes and Captain Eon Sullivan’s 40th and 60th minute strikes booted Cummings Lodge out of this year’s Digicel Nationwide Schools Football Competition which continued yesterday, at the Carifesta Sports Complex.
It was an inspiring display by the Brickdam team and they must now fancy themselves to progress even further into the tournament.
Speaking with Coach Sven Browne shortly after the match ended, he said that the only major impediment now is the fact that they need to get a proper ground to practice on and balls are also posing a problem to them, but added that those setbacks will not affect the mood of the players and they intend to remain positive ahead of their next engagement.
Brickdam completely outplayed their game, but technically inferior opponents and after a tentative start from both teams, they took the lead through Brandis, who lobbed a ball over the goalkeeper’s head into the back of the goal.
Shortly after, Sullivan scored from a scrimmage in the penalty area and they strode to the break with a comfortable 2-0 advantage.
After the break, it was all Brickdam as the ball found itself consistently with the Cummings Lodge half and it was only a matter of time, before the lead widened.
Sullivan collected a pass from the right side and all he had to do was dribble past one marker, before hammering a shot past the advancing goalkeeper.
Ten minutes later, Brandis scored from a similar play, before the final whistle sounded.
