In soggy conditions at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ground, the Bishops’ High School (BHS) were made to work hard for their 3-1 win over Tutorial High when the Digicel’s Schools Football Championship continued on Friday.
Tyresse Souveneir, Darin Chan and Joel Morrison were the men on point for BHS while Kaream Duncan scored for Tutorial.
Forward Souveneir open BHS account when he capitalised on a deflection after a powerful strike by Morrison to put the Carmicheal Street side ahead in the 18th minute.

Souveneir’s goal was a well-directed shot to the bottom left of the net.
Chan’s conversion in the 22nd sparked a jubilant celebration in the crowd, as he wrapped his right foot around the ball, hitting the top left of the box from 25 yards.
At that point in the match, Tutorial seemed to be heading towards a heavy defeat but the team suddenly began looking threatening with a series of offensive plays that came close to breaching the BHS defence.
Duncan proved to be the man to cut the lead and breathe life back into the encounter when he netted in the 37th; the first half ended with BHS in the lead but the momentum was with Tutorial.
Upon resumption, the Woolford Avenue side had the BHS defence sweating with a few attempts on goal but the boys in green and white were well equipped with their counter attacks, as Morrison sporting the famous no.7 jersey etched his name on the score sheet in the 74th with a shot from inside the box.
Today the regional final between Paramakatoi Secondary and Mahdia Secondary will occur in Mahdia from 15:30h.
