By Franklin Wilson
Diamond Secondary concocted an offensive blitz that Camille Institute had no response to as they ran away 7-1 winners and in the process booked their place in the next round of the Digicel Nationwide Schools Football
Diamond Secondary put another past Camille’s Institute in the second half of their match yesterday at the Timehri Red Ground.
Championship.
Playing at the Timehri Red Ground under cloudy skies with a constant breeze blowing across the venue which was once the mecca of football on the East Bank; Diamond stood rock solid as they set about demolishing Camille’s Institute.
The game was reduced to 70 minutes having got underway some 55 minutes late; but the late start didn’t take away from what Diamond had in store for Camille, in fact it perhaps assisted them in the final analysis, since 20 minutes more would have certainly reflected a wider margin of victory.
Leading the charge for Diamond was Jamin Benjamin who blasted a hat-trick; rocking the nets in the 29th, 60th and 69th minute. Camille Institute’s custodian, Kenford Evans and his defensive line had no answer to constant raids that the energetic Diamond players orchestrated.

Crawford took the ball from his defensive position and worked his way down the left flank dribbling past every Camille player ending up in the six yard box but his shot was pushed away by Evans.
Justin Williams inked his name on the score sheets in the 14th minute while getting into the act also was Ralph Niles in the 50th minute. Denzil Mellville netted a consolation goal for Camille Institute in the 27th minute.
