Mar 06, 2020 Sports

Secondary Schools will be battling tomorrow and Sunday when the Milo Under-18 football tournament organised by the Petra Organisation continues at the Ministry of Education (MOE) ground, Carifesta Avenue.

Play between Lodge and Carmel Secondary Schools during their exciting 2-2 draw last Saturday at the MOE ground.

Tomorrow’s first clash from 12:00hrs will pit Cummings Lodge against Vergenoegen while Uitvlugt will match skills with defending champions Christianburg/Wismar at 13:45hrs. The feature match from 15:45hrs is a fixture between Friendship and Anns’s Grove.
Sunday will mark day four of the round-robin group matches which began last Saturday. St. Stanislaus College (Saints) will play Christ Church at 12:00hrs followed by Marian Academy against the boys from Canje in Berbice. Queenstown from the City will then square off with New Central High in the feature match from 15:45hrs.
Fans will be hoping that this weekend’s play is as exciting as last week when the East Coast lads; Annandale, thumped East Ruimveldt 10-2, led by a hat-trick from Skipper Omari Glasgow; fresh from duties with the National Under-20 football side in Nicaragua where the junior lads performed creditably.
Other results last Saturday saw St. Joseph’s High picking up a valuable three points following a 2-1 win over South Ruimveldt while the feature match of the day saw 2019 losing finalists Lodge come back from a 2-0 deficit to draw 2-2 with Caramel.
