Annai Sec’ roars into KFC Int’l Goodwill Series with dominant home win
Kaieteur Sports – Annai Secondary lit up the Annai Community Centre ground on Saturday, November 29, delivering a commanding 4–0 victory over St. Ignatius Secondary to punch their ticket to the Caribbean’s premier youth football showcase—the KFC International Goodwill Football Series.

It was a ruthless turnaround from the pair’s anticlimactic 2–2 draw just a week earlier in St Ignatius’ backyard. This time, on home turf, Annai dialed up the intensity and never let their rivals breathe.
Darius Wilson ignited the onslaught, netting a sharp brace in the 27th and 35th minutes to put Annai firmly in control. Three minutes after Wilson’s second, Joshua Glasgow added his name to the scoresheet with a tidy 30th-minute finish that sent the home crowd into a frenzy.
St Ignatius, chasing the game from early, couldn’t keep up with Annai’s pace and pressure. Any hopes of a late comeback were buried in the 85th minute, when Santino Seorosentono sealed the result with a cool second half strike.

With a win and a draw across the two-leg Region Nine playoff, Annai Secondary now advances to join the Republic Bank Under-18 Schools League champions and runners-up in the prestigious regional Football tournament.
Annai came into the matchup needing a statement, what they delivered was a warning to every school they’ll meet in the Petra International Goodwill Series: they’re arriving in top form and hungry for more.
From December 14-21, the Ministry of Education ground will be the battle field for the eight Secondary School’s champions, as they seek to claim KFC Goodwill supremacy.
