Milo/Petra Organisation Schools Football Competition…Lodge oozing with confidence ahead of Saturday’s final
If one is to go by what Head coach of Lodge High School Leon Bishop told the media during a visit to a training session yesterday, then it is safe to conclude that defending champions of the Milo/Petra Organisation Schools Football Competition St. George’s will have to be at their level best to deny them the title.

Bishop, who has led his charges with perfection so far in the competition, exhibiting the ability to make technical and tactical changes, depending on their opponents seemed to be oozing with confidence ahead of this Saturday’s final fixture against the reigning champions at the Ministry of Education ground on Carifesta Avenue.
During a short rap session with the media, Bishop, while not willing to divulge much on the team’s strategy, did say that they’ve done some study of their opponents and have identified their strengths and weaknesses and the results of which will be seen in the game.
“We’ve seen that they are very strong in mid-field, they have some very good players in those positions and we know that once we shut down their mid-field buildups then we’ll be okay,” Bishop said.
Asked how the players are feeling about the matchup, the coach said it feels like a grudge match and his guys are excited about the encounter and rearing to get into action.
“A win is what we are looking for just to get over the line and bring the title home to Lodge,” Bishop stated.
He, however, felt that the two teams will treat the fans to some riveting football and fans, scouts and even stakeholders willing to invest in football at this level should come out and witness what is anticipated to be an exciting spectacle.
He thanked Milo and Petra Organisation along with the Ministry of Health for investing their time and money in the youths who’re participating in the tournament.
