President’s College upstage Santa Rosa to advance into Quarters

West Ruimveldt Secondary holds Hope Secondary to 2-0 defeat

On the previous match day, defending champions Chase’s Academic Foundation advanced with a commanding performance, alongside the tenacious trio of Dolphin Secondary, Waramuri Secondary, and Charlestown Secondary. Sunday’s action kicked off under a gloomy, windy sky and continued into the evening, where Three Mile Secondary, Yarrowkabra Secondary, West Ruimveldt Secondary, and President’s College secured their tickets to the quarterfinals.

Three Mile Secondary clinched the fifth quarterfinal spot with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Abram Zuil Secondary. Travin Benjamin opened the scoring in the 35th minute after a challenging first half. Abram Zuil responded through Omar Kendall, who leveled the score early in the second half. But it was Lebron Mendonca who sealed the deal for Three Mile with a clinical strike in the 68th minute.

In the second encounter, Bushlot Secondary raced to a 2-0 lead thanks to early goals from Luke Langevine (10′) and Quaency Fraser (20′). However, Yarrowkabra Secondary mounted a spirited comeback. John Bartholomew pulled one back in the 28th minute, and Leroy Evans equalized just before halftime. The match took a dramatic turn in the 51st minute when Bushlot was reduced to ten men following a red card. Yarrowkabra capitalized, and Antwan Vyphuis netted the winner in the 69th minute to seal a thrilling 3-2 victory.

Kenan Petrie (65’) goal enough to propel PC into Milo U18 quarterfinals

West Ruimveldt Secondary comfortably dispatched Hope Secondary 2-0. Issey Williams gave West Ruimveldt an early lead in the sixth minute, and Jeremiah Griffith’s 28th-minute free-kick secured the result. Hope failed to mount a response, and West Ruimveldt marched into the quarters with ease.

In the final match of the round of sixteen, President’s College faced off against Santa Rosa Secondary. After a goalless first half, Kenan Petrie found the back of the net in the 65th minute, delivering the lone goal of the contest, booking President’s College a place in the quarterfinals.

With the round of sixteen complete, the final eight teams are now locked in and will begin preparations for this weekend’s highly anticipated quarterfinal matchups.

The tournament is sponsored by Nestlé Milo and Massy Distribution, with additional support from MVP Sports and the National Sports Commission. It is approved by the Ministry of Education and coordinated by the Petra Organisation.
