The Leonora Secondary School team poses for a pic after their massive win over St. John’s yesterday.

Abioce Heywood created history on the West Demerara when she alone accounted for seven (7) goals as she led Leonora Secondary into the final of the inaugural Fazia’s Collection / West Demerara Football Association Inter Secondary School Girl’s competition.
Playing the first semi-final at the Den Amstel Community Ground yesterday, Heywood headlined her school’s solid showing as they whipped St. John’s 10-0 to keep their unbeaten record intact and a place in the championship game set for Saturday at the same venue.
Heywood led the demolition of St. John’s with goals in the 6th, 32nd, 37th, 42nd, 44th, 49th and 51st minute, St. John’s never being allowed to get close to the attacking third of their opponents.
The intention was very clear from the onset as Leonora, which had earlier defeated Uitvlugt and West Demerara Secondary Schools in the Group stage showed that they clearly meant business when Tamica Greene opened proceedings in the 2nd minute.
Shonnette Carroll added one of her own in the 19th minute while the other goal came off the boot of Kimberly Damon in the 46th minute.
The win for Leonora took their overall tally of goals to 12 with one against.
The second semi will be contested today between the top team in Group ‘B’ Zeeburg Secondary and the second placed team in Group ‘A’, Uitvlugt Secondary. A mouth watering clash is anticipated.
Kick off time is 15:30hrs.
