Milo Under-20 Schools Football Competition…Reigning champion Chase Academy open defence in ominous form
-Four matches on today
Chase Academy holders of the Milo Under-20 Schools Football Competition title commenced the
defence of their quest to retain the crown with an emphatic 5-0 thumping of Tucville yesterday, at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
The game saw the young Tucville side produce an impressive defensive display in the opening segment, before Ryan Hackett opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, hitting a left footer from the left side of the box into the back of the net to take a 1-0 advantge at the half.
In the second period, Ralph Parris made it 2-0 in the 44th minute, smashing his effort from the left side of the box through the legs of the Tucville custodian into the back of the goal.
The diminutive Kelsey Benjamin was not to be left out of the spree as he entered the scoresheet four minutes later, after collecting a cross from the right side to finish with clinical efficiency.
The scoreline reached 4-0 in the 60th minute after Parris booted in his second, racing into the right side of the box, before unleashing a thunderous right footer past the goalkeeper.
Parris then returned to complete a treble in the 65th minute with a perfectly placed shot into the lower left corner from a pass sent into the penalty area.

However, Levi Williams started the comeback in the 57th minute, before Vincent Thomas added the other in the 63rd to earn a draw.
Cummings Lodge took a similar route to salvage a 2-2 draw against St. Mary’s.
Trailing 2-0 at the half time interval following a brace from Alyne Haynes in the 24th and 31st minute, Cummings Lodge aided by a pair from Shaquille Inniss in the 43rd and 58th minutes managed to share the points.
