– Charlestown also advance

It was anticipated to be a very exciting encounter and it lived up to all expectations as Carmel battled to a 3-2 triumph in their clash against Lodge to move into the quarter-finals of this year’s Milo / Petra Organisation Under-20 Schools Football Competition which continued yesterday, at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
On target for the winners was the prolific Marlon Nedd, who booted in a hat-trick in the 1st, 33rd and 58th minutes of play, while Joel Thom’s 8th minute strike supported by another from Jamal Scott in the 64th proved insufficient for Lodge.
In the opening encounter, Charlestown continued their dominant showing in the tournament with another emphatic display, hammering Tutorial 6-1 to join Carmel in the last eight.
The Carmel versus Lodge showdown was a scorcher as predicted by the knowledgeable pundits and it started from the onset with Carmel, who were slight underdogs silencing the crowd as early as the first minute when Nedd, weaved past two defenders, before squeezing a shot past a surprised Lodge goalkeeper into the far corner.
However, seven minutes later, Lodge gained the equaliser through Thom, who found himself unmarked after a melee in the opposition goal area and he took full advantage, unleashing a fierce shot that ricochet off the goalkeeper’s hands and landed into the back of the goal. That made it 1-1 as both teams looked for the go ahead goal.
It came in the 33rd minute when Carmel won a penalty after a player was fouled in the penalty area and the ensuing spot kick which was taken by Nedd was placed nonchalantly into the right hand corner, giving the Lodge custodian no chance of saving.
That scoreline remained until the break.
On the resumption, Lodge looked more purposeful, but good goalkeeping and a determined effort from Carmel kept them at bay, before the uncontainable Nedd added a third goal in the 58th minute to give them a handy 3-1 lead.
Lodge fighting for survival got a second goal courtesy of Scott in the 64th minute, but Carmel held firm until the end to win an entertaining encounter.
Charlestown was more impressive as they rolled to an easy win against Tutorial through goals off the boots of Brian Prince (22nd, 36th) and Shane Morris (47th, 54th), who a brace apiece, while Collis Best (15th) and Arody Bransford (70th) added the others.
Steve Stanton (61st) was the player on target for Tutorial.
The competition continues today with another triple header at the same venue.
The three matches are as follows:
12:00 hrs- Tucville takes on North Ruimveldt
13:50 hrs -South Ruimveldt tackles North Georgetown
15:45 hrs- Bishop’s High square off against Dolphin.
