Inter-Secondary School U-13 football starts in Berbice

Apr 18, 2013 Sports

After two days of play in the fourth edition of the Trinidad and Guyana Sports Club and Outreach Programme (TGSCOP) U-13 Inter Secondary School Football Competition, which began on Monday for school in the NA/ Canje district, disqualification, walkover and upsets have featured on the days played so far.
The competition which is being held at the All Saints Scott Church ground in New Amsterdam and staged in collaboration with the Hearts Of Oak Masters Football Club, has eight school participating.

Part of the action between BEI and NAMS

In play on Monday, the competition begun with a shocker when defending champions Vryman’s Erven Secondary School (VESS) had their game taken away after winning the opening game against School of the Nations (SON) 2-0. It was later learnt that they played overage players.
Another shocker was the no show of the once consistent Tutorial Academy Secondary School (TASS) for their match against Overwinning Secondary (OSS) who were eventually given the walkover.
Canje Secondary School (CSS) then took the opportunity to continue the unusual trend by upsetting powerhouse Berbice High School with a 4-0 drubbing. Dwayne Austin was the man responsible for the CSS good showing by blasting in a hat-trick, while Teon George hit home one.
The final encounter of the four games card saw Berbice Educational Institute (BEI) scoring early off the boot of Troy Monroe to hold off a spirited New Amsterdam Multilateral School (NAMS) to gain a 1-0 victory in a close encounter.
Play on Tuesday saw NAMS swamping BHS 5-0 with Chad Henry and Joshua Hinds banging home two, while Ronaldo Cassiano netted 1.
In the second game, VESS, given a life line in the competition, registered a 1-0 victory over OSS with Toshawn Morris being the man on target. TASS who were for some strange reason absent on the first day showed up to blank SON 2-0 with their goals coming off the boot of Laurence Reid and Joshua Butts.
Canje Secondary (CSS) continued their good form in the competition with a 2-0 win over BEI. Scoring for CSS were Dwayne Alien and Drevaun Pyle.
Play continued yesterday with the final rounds of first round matches. The final and third place play off are set for tomorrow.
This is the fourth year of the competition which is being coordinated by former national player Neil ‘Grizzly’ Humphrey, assisted by Nigel ‘Busit’ Felix, Kenrick Bowry and Randy ‘Blades’ Sears. (Samuel Whyte)
