Home Sports Annandale, Dolphin record victories in GuyOil Round 6
Some of the Nation’s best Under 18 football players continue to showcase their skills as the GuyOil/Tradewind Tankers tournament, being coordinated by the Petra Organisation, enters its sixth round.
After two exciting matches to kick off the tournament, there was a downer in the excitement as Lodge and Marian Academy’s contest was not staged, giving Lodge a walkover. Charlestown and Queenstown Secondary were featured in the following match of the day. Charlestown were up first, after Carlos Agard netted a goal in the 13th minute; but Queenstown were quick with the reply, as Carl Chisholm equalised in the 16th. The remainder of the half passed quietly, but Queenstown’s Raymond Bandhu soon got the intensity going again when he fired an accurate shot in the 45th for the advantage. Just when all seemed lost — at three minutes before regulation time expired — Carl Chisholm found another goal to secure the draw.
The following day, St. Roses and Dolphin Secondary met in a steamy encounter. Kahil Farington came out blazing for St. Roses, and pushed the score to 1-0 with his goal scored in the eighth minute. Several minutes later, Selwyn Jones replied for Dolphin, equalising the scores. Thereafter, both sides hunted for goal, but neither could hit the target — until Jones slipped another goal in for Dolphin’s 2-1 win.
Annandale Secondary continued their winning ways when they faced Bishops’ High in the round’s final match. Bishops’ proved to be tough opponents for Annandale, preventing them from scoring early, unlike in previous games. However, the East Coast boys held their composure long enough for Jemar Harrington to net their first in the 35 th minute; and Anyiko Headley netted their second in the 53rd for a 2-0 win.
