4th Annual Digicel Schools Football Competition North Ruimveldt cruise past Tucville 2-0 -Charlestown and East Ruimveldt also win
North Ruimveldt cruised past a game, but evidently outclassed Tucville when play in this year’s 4TH Annual Digicel Schools Football Competition continued yesterday, at the GFC ground.
Matthew Harrison in the 15th and national Under-17 selectee Jeremy Garrett in the 61st were the players on target for North Ruimveldt.
Tucville had an opportunity to pull one back late in the game after being awarded a penalty, but the chance was muffed.
Harrison opened the scoring for North Ruimveldt when he fired in from close range after receiving a pass from the right side.
Tucville, a team laden with pint-sized players, never gave up and created a few opportunities of their own to level the proceedings, but robust defending combined with weak finishing erased those chances.

Action in the clash between North Ruimveldt and Tucville yesterday at the GFC ground.
However, they continued to fight and went to the break still in the game as they restricted North Ruimveldt to a slim 1-0 advantage.
After the break, Tucville looked the likely to score, but once again, the ‘bigger boys’ stood firm at the back.
In the 61st minute, Garrett, who had looked threatening all afternoon finally got his name on the scoresheet when he ran on to a ball played from left field and swept it past the advancing goalkeeper for a 2-0 lead which lasted until the final whistle sounded.
Over at the GDF ground, East Ruimveldt beat Bishop’s High 2-1 with Wayne Niles (7th) and Romel Legall (10th), being the players on target for the winners, while Nathaniel King (18th) made the lone response for Bishop’s High.
At the Ministry of Education ground, Charlestown trounced Brickdam 5-0 with Aroydy Bransford (4th, 38th) and Omari James (25th and 70th), hitting in a brace apiece, while Tomol Mingo (66th) added the other.
The competition continues today with a game scheduled for St. Cuthbert Mission.
