Tucville win clash of heavyweights
Tucville’s Kevin Andrews (#11) scores his team’s second goal en route to a 2-0 win over St. George’s yesterday.
It was deemed the battle of the heavyweights in this year’s Milo Under-20 Schools Football Competition and even though there was one eventual winner it lived up to expectations as Tucville behind goals from Dorwin Filter (5th) and Kevin Andrews (14th) defeated St. George’s 2-0 yesterday, at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
The much hyped clash started out with Tucville looking the more composed side and went on the offensive early with Filter and company orchestrating numerous threatening forays and got their reward as early as the fifth minute when Filter stationed on the left flank ran on to a long ball from centre field, trapped it neatly, before dribbling past one defender and then unleashed a fierce shot past the St. George’s custodian positioned on the near post.
That goal silenced the partisan St. George’s supporters and energized the Tucville unit as they surged forward in numbers and stretched their advantage through Andrews nine minutes later when he received a pass from the left wing, weaved past two defenders, before duplicating the feat against the advancing goalkeeper and hitting a tame shot into the back of an empty goal.
That second goal seemed to take the fight out of the usually resilient St. George’s side as they looked disorganized after then and went to the break 2-0 down.
The second period saw a more vigorous effort from St. George’s, but stout defending combined with some menacing counterattacks from Tucville kept St. George’s at bay as the game cantered to the end of regulation time with no team managing to score in the half to give the East Georgetown based team a well deserved win.
In the first game, Charlestown beat Christ Church 2-0 through goals off the boots of Shane Morris (9th) and Anthony Bartholomew (60th), while North Georgetown gained a walkover from Ascension, who failed to show.
