Kaieteur Sports – The race for knockout qualification sharpens today as round two of the 12th Annual Massy Distribution Secondary Schools Boys’ Under-18 Football Championship kicks off at the Queen’s College ground, with the Petra Organisation rolling out another packed day of school football in Georgetown.

Ann’s Grove Secondary headlines the morning fixtures following a crucial 4–2 win over the 2025 champions Dolphin Secondary. They return to action today at 10:30hrs against New Campbellville Secondary, who are already under pressure after falling to Belladrum in their opener.

With valuable group points at stake, both sides know a positive result could define their path to the knockout stage.
Midday action sees Zeeburg Secondary looking to extend their winning run against a determined Yarrowkabra Secondary, who are eager to bounce back from defeat. At the same time, Charlestown Secondary meet New Amsterdam Secondary, a side that impressed with a disciplined, counter-attacking display in their win over Good Hope Secondary and now eyeing a second straight victory.
The afternoon fixtures continue with West Demerara Secondary taking on Saints Stanislaus College, while Good Hope Secondary will try to recover from their opening loss when they face St John’s College.
Closing out the day, Santa Rosa Secondary of region one, battle Brickdam Secondary in what promises to be a lively encounter, while West Ruimveldt Secondary and Hope Secondary clash with both teams still firmly in the hunt for knockout qualification.
Spots in the knockout round remains open, the stakes nestle at the end of the tunnel.
