Part of the action in this year’s Milo U-20 Schools Football Competition.

– Sizzling encounters anticipated

Action in the Milo Under-20 Schools Football Competition, which is being organised by Petra Organisation, continues over the weekend with six more matches, at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Starting today, Charlestown takes on Ascension from 12:00 hrs and that will be followed by the clash between Christ Church and North Georgetown from at 13:50 hrs, while the curtain comes down with Tucville versus Tutorial High at 15:45 hrs.
Three more matches are slated for tomorrow when St. George’s engages St. John’s College at 12:00 hrs to be followed by the encounter between Cummings Lodge and Queen’s College at 13:50 hrs and then South Ruimveldt opposes Bishop’s High from 15:45 hrs.
In the Charlestown versus Ascension affair, the former will certainly start as favourites following their impressive showing against North Georgetown, who they defeated 4-0 thanks to some exciting play from Barron Dick, Aroydy Bradford and Ravin Naughton.
They will once again be looking for solid performances from this trio to secure their second victory in as many matches.
Ascension on the other hand looked out of sorts against a clinical Christ Church team, but will no doubt be looking to make amends for that dismal first outing.
In the second game, Christ Church who registered the most impressive performance to date will be aiming to maintain that record and Andre Trotz, Nyron Joseph, Kadeem Blackman and Javontat Best will be asked to once again spearhead their quest for victory.
North Georgetown, who lost their opening encounter just like Ascension, will know that another loss could put them under severe pressure to qualify for the final stages and therefore will be going all out for a win.
In the final clash of the day, Tucville notable winners against St. John’s College in their first game of the competition are hot favourites to continue in that vein.
Hubern Blair, who netted a treble will be looking to replicate that performance, while Denzel Green, another player with some talent is part of the supporting cast.
Tutorial who lost their opening game against St. George’s will be eager to rebound and secure their first set of points in the tournament. The day promises to produce sizzling action and fans are being implored to come out and help spot the next local ‘Messi’ or ‘Neymar’.
Meanwhile, the top four schools will receive cash awards which will go towards the creation of a project of their choice.
The champion school will receive $200,000, runner-up $100,000, third place $50,000 and fourth $25,000. All four institutions will also be given medals and trophies, while the Most Valuable Player, Highest Goalscorer, Best Goalkeeper, Best Coach and Most Supportive Parent will be recognised for their achievements.
The schools hunting the top prizes are: Charlestown, North Georgetown, Christ Church, Ascension, Tucville, St John’s College, St George’s, Tutorial High, Cummings Lodge, Bishop’s High, South Ruimveldt, Queen’s College, Lodge, David Rose, Dolphin Secondary, Guyana Education Trust College, St Winefride, North Ruimveldt, Carmel, Brickdam, New Campbellville, Sophia Special School, Richard Ishmael and Central High.
