St. Joseph’s High, Annandale Secondary and Lodge Secondary are the latest winners in the Milo Schools Under-18 Football tournament following action on Saturday afternoon.
Goal-scorers of the Annandale Secondary
St. Joseph’s High bagged the first three points of the day when they came up against South Ruimveldt Secondary at the Ministry of Education Ground on Carifesta Avenue.
Good potential was obvious as these teams played to a deadlocked first half, but St. Joseph’s Khalil Gittens took things to another level the moment the second segment began when he found the back of the net for the first goal of the game, scored in the 36th minute of play.
His teammate Jaheim Cox made it two for St Joseph’s in the 43rd minute; but Godfrey Weekes staged a comeback for South when he struck their lone goal in the 46th minute. He, however, could not pull off the feat, and the game ended with a 2-1 score.
Action in the Milo Tournament
With the return of lightning forward Omari Glasgow, Annandale Secondary bounced back to their high scoring ways with a commanding 10-2 victory over East Ruimveldt Secondary. This win followed their narrow 2-0 victory last week.
Glasgow opened the scoring in the 16th minute, but two minutes later, East Ruimveldt’s Ezekiel Waldron equalized, showing the powerhouse Annandale that they were up for the fight. Annandale’s Jerome Harrigon and Tyrice Dennis then netted in the 24th and 29th minutes respectively, while East Ruimveldt’s Keion Marques had his moment of glory in the 35th for a 3-2 score by half time. The once exhilarating encounter became a one-sided affair in the second half, as Annandale silenced their opponents and took aim at the goal. Glasgow completed his hat trick with goals in the 41st and 55th minutes, while Harrigon and Dennis each finished off their brace with goals in the 62nd and 58th minutes respectively.
Rickey Deputron and Colin Henriques each scored a goal, in the 43rd and 56th minutes respectively, for Annandale’s 10. The final encounter of the day saw 2018 runners-up Lodge Secondary wrapped in a 2-2 draw with Carmel Secondary. Osafo Jackson (52nd) and Curt Edwards (65th) were the scorers for Lodge, while Lonsdale Amsterdam was the star for Carmel with goals in the 42nd and 50th minutes.
Action in the Milo Tournament will continue today with three more games. St. John’s College will take on Golden Grove Secondary; the Bishops’ High will battle Tucville Secondary; then Queenstown Secondary and Central High School will lock horns in the final encounter of the day.
