Digicel Schools’ Football Championship…

– Region Seven champ to be crowned July 27

Kaieteur Sports – Following Wednesday’s Region Four finale in the eighth edition of the Digicel Schools’ Football Championship, Dolphin Secondary have been crowned Georgetown’s Regional Champion after an intriguing showdown with Excelsior Academy.

Now, only one zone remains to crown their Regional Champion before the tournament enters its National Championship.

In the double header at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground on Wednesday evening, the eventual champion got the better of the opposition 2 – 1 while West Ruimveldt emerged victorious 3 – 1 against Charlestown in the third place showdown.

Jequan Cole and Gerry Burnette both found the back of the net once for Dolphin, to overshadow the opposition’s efforts. Excelsior were without their most valuable forward, Antonio McArthur, after he was dealt a red card in the semifinal round.

The third place battle commenced the day’s play, which saw West Ruimveldt put forth a more spirited performance as Donovan Welcome led with a double and was supported by Joshua Sharples, who found the back of the net once. Charlestown’s lone goal became their consolation.

Dolphin have secured bragging rights for the Georgetown zone of the countrywide Championship.

Meanwhile, this season’s Regional Champions are Santa Rosa (Region 1), Charity (Region 2), Leonora (Region 3), Region 4 (East Coast) – Buxton, Region 4 (East Bank) – Soesdyke, Region 4 (Georgetown) – Dolphin, Mahaicony TI (Region 5), Berbice Educational Institute (Region 6), Kato (Region 8), St. Ignatius (Region 9) and Mackenzie High (Region 10).

The focus will now shift to Region Seven, where Bartica and the KFC Goodwill Champion, DC Fox (Waramadong), collide on July 27 at the MoE Ground to decide the Regional Champion.

This edition of the tournament is organised by the Petra Organisation.
