Following the ceremonial march past, the ball got rolling immediately with a nail biter between Cummings Lodge and North Ruimveldt that ended 4 – 3 in the former’s favour. Antwan Samuel was instantly impactful with a double he carved out in the 11th and 13th minutes to give his side the lead.
Two more goals for Cummings Lodge from Fabian Figueria (37’, 38’) was enough to keep the threat of Kwali Ifill, who scored in for North Ruimveldt in the 34th and 52nd minutes, along with an own goal compliments of Elijah Mendonca that made it a one-possession game, at bay.
In the match that followed, Christianburg/Wismar Secondary trounced West Ruimveldt 5 – 0 to reign supreme. Their goals were scored by Devon Gilbert (25’), Amali King (29’), Darnell Warner (40’) and Daniel Adolph (42’, 65’).
Match three was the 4 – 0 drubbing of Friendship, who were outplayed in every department by the Golden Grove unit. A double from Yannick Williams (3’, 70) along with a goal each from Kelon Croal (21‘) and Omarion Burrowes (72’), overshadowed the opposition’s effort.
The day’s final encounter saw President’s College hold off a surging Dolphin team to win 3 – 2. The eventual victors went ahead in the 11th minute when Michael Joseph scored the first goal of his brace. Three minutes later he completed the feat.
Dolphin were then brought back into the contest when Jaquan Cole found success in the 20th and 25th minutes. However, it was the 56th minute decider scored by Treyon Grenville that boosted President’s College to their first three points.
