NAMS, BEI advance to semi-finals in “Patto” April U-17 football competition in Berbice
New Amsterdam Multilateral School (NAMS) and Berbice Educational Institute (BEI) have advanced to the semi-final, joining Berbice High School (BHS) and Canje Secondary School (CSS), when play in the Inaugural Patrick “Patto” April Inter School U17 Knockout football competitions continued for schools in the New Amsterdam/ Canje area.
NAMS made light work of Tutorial Academy Secondary (TASS) winning 3-0 to book their place in the semis. The lads from NAMS looked more purposeful and completely dominated the game from the start, scoring all three of their goals in the first half. Godfrey Coward with a double and Jamal Butts one accounted for their goals.

In the other game between BEI and Vryman’s Erven Secondary School (VESS) things were evenly balanced throughout with BEI sneaking home on penalty kicks 3-2 after the game ended 1-1 after full and extra time. Stephen Boucher opened the scoring for VESS from the penalty spot in the first half with BEI getting the equaliser just before half time from a defence error.
The semi-finals were set for yesterday featuring BHS against CSS and NAMS taking on BEI.
The final and third place play off are set for today. Starting time is 14:30 hrs.
The presentation ceremony will take place immediately after the completion of the final.
The top three teams will be presented with trophies and other accolades while there will also be prizes for the top individual performers including the most valuable player, best goalkeeper, best defender, the best midfielder and best striker.
Meanwhile, in earlier action, Berbice High School (BHS) used their superior condition to demoralise New Amsterdam Technical Institute (NAMS) with a crushing 4-0 beating, while Canje Secondary School (CSS) also stamped their authority with a 4-1 whipping of School of The Nations (SON) when play kicked off in the Inaugural Patrick “Patto” April Inter School U-17 Knockout football competition for schools in the New Amsterdam/ Canje area.
Playing in the first game of the double header, at the Scott Church Ground, Princess Elizabeth Road New Amsterdam, BHS made light work of their opponents. Mark Wrong with a double, one in each half, Steffan Hinds with a first half strike and national cricketer Shimron Hetmyer with another in the closing minutes of the game helped to dent the NATI’s effort.
In the other game, Canje Secondary School (CSS) recovered from a 0-1 deficit to blast home four unanswered goals to help themselves to a moral boosting win ahead of their semifinal clash with BHS.
Scoring for CSS were Jamal Benjamin, Trevon Griffith, Kevin Dey and a defence error, while SON had opened the scoring through booming 20 yard strike from Shaqueel Rohitalle. Benjamin had responded with a similar airstrike to open the account for CSS immediately after.
The competition, which is organised by the Hearts of Oak Masters Football Club, is coordinated by Neil “Grizzly” Humphrey. (Samuel Whyte)
