This year’s final of the Edward ‘Screw’ Richmond Memorial Under-19 Linden Schools football championship will be contested this afternoon between New Silvercity Secondary and Christianburg Wismar ‘Multi’ Secondary Schools at the Wisburg Secondary School ground, Linden.
The two teams will meet after disposing of their semifinal opponents in the home and away matches which were also contested at the only football playing ground available in Linden at the moment.
In the first semifinal game held last Tuesday, New Silvercity Secondary edged past Linden Technical Institute 1-0 win after O’Neil Gentle got the lone goal of the game, while in the other first leg semifinal match between Wismar Christianburg Secondary ‘Multi’ and Harmony, saw Harmony getting the better of that clash when the only goal of the game was scored by Kurd Johnson.
In return leg of those semifinals last Thursday, Christianburg Wismar Secondary rebounded to beat Harmony 2-1 on goals by Yannick Simon and Marmaleque Davidson, thus advancing by the away goals rule from that 2-2 aggregate. They now meet New Silvercity Secondary who reached the final after drawing their return game 1-1. Shaquille Alexander scored for New Silvercity Secondary and Shaquille Clarke leveled the scores for LTI with New Silvercity Secondary advancing by a 2-1 aggregate.
Ernest Joseph, Chairman of the Edward ‘Screw’ Richmond Memorial Foundation based in the United States of America, is among officials who will be here for the presentation at the final this afternoon.
Several individual prizes are up for grabs this afternoon including the top goal scorer, best defensive player and best goalkeeper prizes in addition to the winning trophy and medals and the runner-up prizes.
