Berbice High School (BHS) continue their winning ways to book a place in the semifinals when they defeated Tutorial Academy Secondary 1-0 as play in the Inaugural Wilbur Hope Memorial Inter Secondary School football tournament continued in Berbice with another double header at the All Saints Scot Church ground.
After inflicting a 3-0 drubbing on Canje Secondary school (CSS) in the opening game, the BHS lads returned on Tuesday and held off a strong TASS team by the lone goal of the match with Mark Wrong being the man on target with a 20th minute strike.
The game was evenly contested after that with both teams trying desperately to push on. However the score line remained the same until the final whistle.
In the second game Berbice Educational Institute (BEI) scored twice in the first half to earn a 2-1 win over New Amsterdam Multilateral School (NAMS).
Jason Drakes netted first in the 23rd minute, while Melroy Henry doubled the score in the 29th minute.   NAMS’ never gave up and Akeem Bowlers pulled one back with eight minutes to go in the 60 minutes game.
The competition, which is being sponsored by US Army soldier and former New Amsterdam resident Kevin Henry, is being played in memory of the multitalented Wilbur Hope a former national footballer and athlete and accomplished cricketer.
Hope’s relatives last year handed over a Pavilion which was constructed in the Tucber Park ball field in honour and memory of his 10th death anniversary to the people of the Tucber Park Community.
The respective schools were presented with Jerseys, Trunks and two footballs each.
The tournament was expected to continue yesterday with TASS taking on CSS and VESS coming up against NAMS.  The semifinals are expected to be played today and the final tomorrow.  (Samuel Whyte)
