Milo / Petra U-20 Schools F’ball – KO Stage…Richard Ishmael, St. George’s move on; Christ Church, QC out

Mar 08, 2013 Sports

The start of the knockout phase of the Milo / Petra Organisation Under-20 Schools Football Competition which begun yesterday at the Ministry of Education Ground on Carifesta Avenue held true to early predictions when both favourites Richard Ishmael and St. George’s ran riot over their respective opponents Christ Church and Queen’s College en route to easy victories.
In the first game of the double header, Richard Ishmael drubbed Christ Church 5-1, while in the second encounter St. George’s humbled Queen’s College 5-0.

Action in the clash between St. George’s and Queen’s College which the former won yesterday at the Ministry of Education ground.

Ryan Stanton opened the scoring in the 15th minute and seven minutes after Trevon Tucker added another, before Christ Church pulled one back through Tracvis Fitzpatrick, who netted in the 31st minute to make it a 2-1 game.
The Woolford Avenue unit stretched their advantage further through a strike from Ronald Dover in the 36th minute of play and that score line remained until the half. Eight minutes into the second period, Shaka Browne netted Richard Ishmael’s fourth goal and that was followed four minutes later when the prolific Krisstoff Watts added their fifth.
That score line remained until the final whistle sounded which evidently signaled the elimination of Christ Church and the advancement of Richard Ishmael.
In the feature clash, St. George’s was the first to find the back of the nets when the nippy Sean Taylor dribbled past a horde of defenders, before tapping in from close range after 16 minutes of play.
Royston Dublin then doubled their advantage in the 33rd minute when he fired in a cracking shot from about 20 metres out that screamed past the outstretched hands of the goalkeeper to lodge in the back of the goal.
Adulka George made it 3-0 five minutes before the half when he outran the defence after being played a long ball from centre field and hammered a fierce shot past the advancing goalkeeper.
However, even before the half time whistle came, the QC boys muffed a few opportunities to score through poor finishing and alert goalkeeping.
On the resumption, St. George’s continued to orchestrate numerous offensive forays and increased their lead through Jummer Small, who netted in the 70th minute. Sensing that the Thomas Lands boys were clearly deflated, St. George’s attacked with menace and added another goal three minutes before regulation time ended when Neil Cameron completed their tally.
The competition continues tomorrow with a triple header at the same venue.
In the day’s full results: Richard Ishmael Secondary 5, Christ Church 1. Richard Ishmael Secondary – Ryan Stanton 15th, Trevon Tucker 22nd, Ronald Dover 36th, Shaka Browne 53rd, Krisstoff Watts 57th minute. Christ Church Secondary – Travis Fitzpatrick 31st minute.
St George’s High School 5, Queen’s College 0. St George’s High School – Sean Taylor 16th, Royston Dubblin 33rd, Adulka George 40th, Jummer Small 70th, Neil Cameron 87th.
