Round-of-16 action in the fourth edition of the ExxonMobil Boys and Girls Under-14 Championships, which took place yesterday at the NIS Ground.
Kaieteur Sports – Yesterday, the male quarterfinalists in 2023 ExxonMobil Boys and Girls Under-14 Football Championships were confirmed when the Round-of-16 stage was contested at the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) Ground.
There were eight intriguing encounters on the card as Bush Lot and Patentia were the first two victorious sides in the elimination round.
Bush Lot got past East Ruimveldt 5 – 3 while Patentia won 2 – 1 over Cummings Lodge.
Christianburg/Wismar then collided with Dora as the Linden unit emerged victorious 2 – 0 while Mackenzie met Bartica with the latter prevailing 1 – 0.
The penultimate pair of matches saw Westminster defeat Marian Academy 3 – 1 as Waramuri Top squeezed past Fort Wellington 1 – 0.
In the final two matches of the day, Chase’s Academic Foundation secured a berth in the next round with a 3 – 0 result over Dolphin as New Central High opposed Vergenoegen and pulled off a nail-biter 3 – 2.
This means the quarterfinals (final eight) are Bush Lot, Patentia, Christianburg/Wismar, Bartica, Westminster, Waramuri Top, Chase’s Academic Foundation and New Central High.
Meanwhile, the winners of the five Girls’ Groups, who automatically booked quarterfinal spots were Waramuri Top, Tucville, Ann’s Grove, President’s College and Bartica while the best second-place finishers were Charlestown, New Central High and Marian Academy.
The quarterfinal round in both Divisions are scheduled to be contested on Saturday, June 10, when the semifinalists will be decided.
At stake for the victors in the two categories are the championship trophies along with $300,000 towards a school project, while the second, third, and fourth place finishers will have to settle for $150,000, $75,000, and $50,000, respectively, all for a school initiative, along with the respective trophy.
The tournament serves as a platform for identifying talented players who can potentially represent Guyana at the international level.
