Milo/Petra Organisation Schools Football resumes Saturday
After a break for the Mashramani celebrations, the Milo / Petra Organisation Schools Football Competition will resume this Saturday with four more matches at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
In the first game of the day, Central High takes on St. Mary’s from 11:00hrs and this clash should see the latter start as favourites judging from their gutsy performance against Bishop’s High which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Central High failed to show up for their opening encounter against Lodge Secondary so attempting to pronounce on what could be expected from them will be nothing more than speculation. In the second game, Freeburg battles North Ruimveldt at 12:30 hrs.
North Ruimveldt should start as favourites in this one, especially after producing a top-class display against North Georgetown who they drubbed 6-0. Once again the likes of Jeremy Garrett and Jamal Europe are expected to lead the assault along with support from Matthew Harrison and Carl Griffith.
Freeburg on the other hand will look to rebound following a loss to one of the tournament’s top teams, Tucville in their opening fixture. The third matchup of the day pits Cummings Lodge versus South Ruimveldt and this game should produce an exciting brand of football.
Picking a winner here is not easy as both teams won their opening encounters and looked in good form. Cummings Lodge seems the more technically efficient, but South Ruimveldt showed that they are a tenacious bunch and not easily intimidated so an absorbing battle is in the making.
In the final game of the day, defending champions St. George’s takes on Charlestown and this clash too should provide entertainment for the fans. St. George’s commenced their defence of the title with an efficient performance against New Campbellvile, winning 2-0, while Charlestown gained a walkover from St. Joseph’s.
However, Charlestown, traditionally strong contenders at the junior level are anticipated to maintain that practice. It will be needed against a team that has undoubtedly performed the best among Georgetown teams in recent competitions.
The tournament continues the following day with four more matches at the same venue.
