Defending champions Chase’s Academic Foundation stay on top, crushing Charlestown Secondary 4-0 in round 5.
Chase’s Academic once again proved why they are the favourites to lift the title, extending their flawless record to five wins from five with a commanding 4–0 victory over Charlestown Secondary.
The afternoon belonged to Bryan Wharton, who delivered one of the most dominant individual performances of the tournament so far. The in-form striker single-handedly dismantled third-placed Charlestown, scoring all four goals to keep Chase’s perfect run intact and firmly secure their position at the top of the table with 15 points.
Wharton wasted no time asserting his presence, striking in the 5th and 7th minutes to put Chase comfortably ahead at the break. He continued his masterclass in the second half, lofting a brilliant effort over the goalkeeper in the 31st minute before hammering home his fourth goal just eight minutes later. His clinical display not only sealed Chase’s fifth consecutive win but also underlined his status as one of the competition’s most lethal finishers.
Meanwhile, Donovan Welcome delivered a match-winning brace to guide West Ruimveldt Secondary to a smooth 3–0 win over Dolphin Secondary, keeping them firmly in second place on 12 points.
After an early 13th-minute opener from Jeremiah Griffith, the game opened up for Welcome in the second half. Dolphin’s defence unraveled, and the West Ruimveldt forward punished them with trademark precision, scoring in the 60th and 64th minutes. His two-goal burst not only sealed the victory but also showcased his growing reputation as the team’s reliable closer in tight moments.
In other action, Three Mile Secondary continued their impressive campaign with a commanding 4–1 triumph over bottom-table President’s College. Joshua James and Haydock Parris struck in the 16th and 18th minutes to set the tone before Danil Alexander briefly pulled one back in the 37th. However, Leron Mendonca responded immediately, scoring seconds later and completing his brace in the 39th to keep Three Mile hanging in fourth place.
South Ruimveldt Secondary climbed to third on 10 points after Abram Zuil Secondary failed to show, resulting in a walkover victory for The Green Rangers.
Round six continues this Sunday at the same venue, with Charlestown and Three Mile Secondary set for a crucial matchup as the chase for semifinal places intensifies.
The tournament is sponsored by Republic Bank (Guyana) Limited, with support from MVP Sports, Ronoca Concrete Inc., Demerara Mutual, and Guyana Beverage Inc. (Busta). It is sanctioned by the Ministry of Education
