Milo / Petra Organisation Schools Football Competition…North Georgetown upset Tucville; QC, David Rose and Kingston also in winners’ row
North Georgetown needing a victory to keep alive their chances of advancing to the Round of 16 in the Milo / Petra Schools Football Competition did what they were required to do after registering a hard fought 1-0 upset over favourites Tucville yesterday, at the Ministry of Education ground on Carifesta Avenue.
On target for the winners was Rueben Miller, who netted in the 29th minute of play. Miller’s goal came after both teams had shared equal ball possession in the opening segment of the game, before North Georgetown produced a magical sequence of play that saw them string together some clinical passes and Miller collecting a delivery from the middle on the right flank and fired low past the Tucville custodian.
The half ended with no addition to the score. On the resumption, both teams looked for the opening, but stout defending and errant shooting nullified any chance of any team hitting the jackpot.

Both teams created a few chances to score, but once again the goalkeepers were the heroes as they made brilliant saves to keep the game on a knife’s edge, before the final whistle sounded, handing North Georgetown a well deserved win.
In the first game of the day, David Rose scored an impressive 5-1 win over Richard Ishmael to justify the faith of football pundits who had predicted that they could gain full points from this contest.
Stephon Green, Sherwin Charles, Akeem Giddings, Adrian Wong and Sherwin Joe were all on target for the winners, while Ricardo King responded for the losers. Queen’s College then squeezed past Tutorial by a 2-1 margin with Jaydev Mona and Ashmar Angel netting their goals, while David Coates had briefly given Tutorial the lead.
Kingston then sent an ominous warning to all contenders with an impressive 3-1 triumph over Carmel. Levi Williams, Allistair Holder and Shawn Gravesande were the players on target for Kingston, while Marlon Nedd was the lone responder for Carmel.
