Jul 28, 2019 Sports

On a day which began in glorious sunshine before developing into a Thunder Storm at the Ministry of Education ground just over 100 meters from the Atlantic Ocean on Carifesta Avenue, Cummings Lodge Secondary and Carmel secondary advanced to Saturday’s Boys final with victories in their semi-finals in the Exxon Mobil U-14 Schools Football tournament organised by Petra Organisation yesterday.

New Campbellville secondary warm up in pouring rain yesterday before the Final against East Ruimveldt was postponed due to thunder and lightning.

Talented striker Jitzak Martinez continued his good run in the tournament by finding the back of the net on four occasions and got support from the pint size Shiloh Adams who also scored four goals, while Antwan Samuels netted once as a dominant Cummings Lodge had the majority of possession as they peppered Queenstown’s secondary goal to register an emphatic 9-nil victory in the first semi-final of the day.
In the second semi-final, goals from Ian Daniels and Shem James spearheaded Carmel secondary to a 2-1 win against Dolphin Secondary in a much more competitive game which climaxed under dark angry clouds hovering over the Atlantic and the already waterlogged sward.

Ian Daniels (left) and Shem James scored as Carmel Secondary beat Dolphin Secondary 2-1 in Petra semi-finals yesterday.With a fair size crowd on hand, expecting a pulsating Girls final, the weather got worse as the day progressed and during the second half of the Girl’s third placed match, peels of thunder and flashes of lightening accompanied the pounding rain that quickly formed huge puddles of water on the surface causing the game to be aborted with 11 minutes remaining in the one-sided contest.

At that stage Charlestown Secondary were up 5-nil against Tucville Secondary and were awarded the win due to the Force-majeure rules. The rains and heavy winds also forced the postponement to the Girls final between East Ruimveldt and New Campbellville Secondary which was slated to start at 15:30hrs.
Weather permitting, the Boys third place play-off between Dolphin secondary and Queenstown secondary will now be played at 13:00hrs on Saturday August 4. The Girls final is scheduled to commence at 14:00hrs and the Boys final at 15:00hrs on the same day.
Meanwhile, as is customary, the Ministry of Public Health donated a haversack to the leading goal scorers Martinez and Adams under the thyme eradicating Cronic deceases through physical activates. (Sean Devers)
