Chase’s Academic to tackle Clarendon Col’ for spot in the final
Petra/KFC Goodwill Int’l Football Series
Kaieteur Sports- The stage is set for the ultimate playoffs where the winners will secure tickets to the final in the Fifth Annual KFC Goodwill International Under-18 Secondary School’s Football Series 2024. The atmosphere is electric, featuring eight of the fiercest football teams from secondary schools in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, and host nation Guyana.
The Mantas frontline (Clarendon College) will be on show from 19:30 at MoE ground.
The tournament kicked off last Sunday at the Queen’s College and Ministry of Education grounds. From witnessing 28 goals scored on the opening day to thrilling double hat-tricks, remarkable penalty kicks, and dramatic comeback victories. The 2024 Series, coordinated by the Petra Organisation has delivered unforgettable action. Today, the finalists will be decided at the MoE ground.
The teams to watch are defending champions Clarendon College from Jamaica and Trinidad’s Southern and Intercol champions, St Benedict’s College. Both have proven formidable, remaining unbeaten in this year’s campaign. Four dynamic teams including Guyana’s Annai Secondary and Chase’s Academic Foundation will face off in two exciting semi-final matchups, starting at 5:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, in Wednesday evening’s matches, Guyana’s powerhouse Chase’s Academic Foundation suffered a 3-0 defeat against the Trinidadians, while last year’s champions, Clarendon College, edged out Tobago’s Speyside College 2-1. These results set the stage for an exhilarating finish ahead of Sunday’s grand finale.
The Chase shooters will be looking to take down last year champions for spot in final.
According to the fixtures, St Benedict’s College will take on Region Seven’s giants Annai Secondary, who previously defeated Tobago’s Speyside College. Annai will need to give their all to secure a spot in the finals. On the other side, Chase’s Academic Foundation, the 2024 U18 League champions, will battle Clarendon College for a place in the championship match.
Who will emerge victorious? That’s the big question. Each of the remaining teams has earned their spot in the final four. Now is their chance to showcase all the hard work and dedication from the 2024 football season.
Fans can expect electrifying youth football as these teams compete to make history. Come out and support both local and international contenders as the Petra Organisation inches closer to crowning the 2024 KFC Goodwill champions.
