ExxonMobil Under-14 Schools’ tourney… Semi-finalists decided after battling on soggy outfield

Jul 08, 2018 Sports

St John’s College, North Ruimveldt, Chase Academy and Buxton are into the semi-finals of the inaugural ExxonMobil U-14 Schools Football tournament; boys’ division, after toiling hard during yesterday’s matches at the Ministry of Education (MOE) ground.
In the first quarter-final, St. John’s College easily negotiated Marian Academy 2-0 with Dequan Bovell leading the charge with the opening goal in the 6th minute. Shem Jovis in the 35th minute then secured the victory for the St. John’s side which will ensured they reached the semifinal round.
In the second game, North Ruimveldt were made to work for their 2-1 win against Tucville on the wet outfield that had been affected by sudden showers. Yannick Norton in the 23rd opened the scoring for the eventual winners but it would not be easy sailing.
Odoyo Harris’ 30th minute strike was enough to draw the game level and set up a mouth-watering remainder of the game. It would take Orlando Sickie’s 46th minute strike to send the North side through.
Game three was a high scoring fixture where Chase Academy beat Vergenoegen 5-3. While it was Vergenoegen who opened the scoring in the first minute through Timothy Duggan, Chase took a while before the response came. When it did come, it was Brandon Solomon in the 33rd that brought things level before Jaheel Alcindor gifted Chase the lead for the first time in the 44th. Clinton Jones would bring the West Demerara side level in the 50th and a minute later, Nashawn Livan would put Vergenoegen in the lead again. Seon Cato would level it up for Chase in the 53rd before Kevin Mullin restored Chase’s lead in the 60th and Cato completed his hat-trick and the team’s fifth in the 62nd.
Buxton also featured in a high scoring result against Dolphin, winning 6-1. A hat-trick from Tyrice Dennis (12th, 18th and 40th) was the dominating force for Buxton with Olashi Primo (23rd), Samuel Garnett (31st) and Akiem Gaime (48th) being the supporting cast. Dolphin had Jaquan Cole (45th) on target for them.
In the ladies round robin, Dolphin lost 3-2 to South Ruimveldt after Latesha Sutherland’s double (10th and 44th) and Amanda McKenzie (19th) lead the way. Dolphin had Kezia Parkinson (30th) and Naiomi Williams (35th).
New Campbellville needled Tucville 1-0 as Alicia Maynard was the decider in the 28th while East Ruimveldt got the better of Tucville 2-0 thanks to Gilana King (28th) and Tamara Mendonca (35th).
Charlestown registered the biggest win in the female category with a 4-0 drubbing of Uitvlugt. Tynesha Thorne (10th), Donna Lowe (19th), Annera Alim (24th) and Akilah Koster (39th) each scored once.
