In yesterday’s semi finals, defending champions Timehri Panthers were defeated 2-0 by a confident Riddim Squad outfit in the second semifinal, Vurlon Millis Academy trouncing Kuru Kururu warriors 5-0 in the first.
The young Warriors were not in a mood to war and fell prey to the consistent offensive maneuvers by the Vurlon Mills Academy lads. Shackel Marshall sent them on their way in the seventh minute with that advantage being doubled one minute later when Malcolm Hendricks rocked the nets.
At the half way mark it was a 2-0 advantage for Mills Academy which maintained their goal scoring ambitions in the second half. Romario La Rose further increased the advantage in the 19th minute and quickly thereafter, Negus Frank (21) and Shaquille Dalrymple in the 22nd minute sealed the deal as they marched into the championship match and will come up against the Mocha based, Riddim Squad.
The Riddim Squad lads, a well oiled unit will be a formidable opponent for Vurlon Mills Academy; both teams unbeaten to date but one will surely end with a loss on the final day. The defending champions, Timehri Panthers could not find the antidote to keep the Riddim Squad team at bay for too long.
The deadlock was broken in the 13th minute thanks to a Matthew Murray goal. The deal was sealed in the 22nd minute when Riddim Squads leading scorer, Jaheam Lewis netted his fourth of the tournament.
On Saturday, the Third place match will commence at 09:00hrs with the final at 09:45hrs at the same venue. Sponsor Ralph Green will be making the trip home to witness both matches and be part of the presentation ceremony following the matches.
Apart from replica trophies that will be presented to the top two teams, the third and fourth place receiving medals; the Most Disciplined Player, Best Goal Keeper, Most Promising Player, Top Goal Scorer and Most Valuable Player will receive plaques as will The Best Coach and the Team receiving The Sportsmanship Award.
