BEI books quarter-final spot in Digicel Schools Football tourney in Region Six
Goal-scorers from left to right: Martin Arjune, Jamal Adams, T’Jon Reid and Colisi Scipio
The Berbice Educational Institute (BEI) is the first team to book a semifinal spot in the Region Six leg of the Digicel Schools Football knockout tournament.
BEI came from one down to register a 5-1 win over Berbice High at the All Saints Ground on Princess Elizabeth Road in New Amsterdam on Wednesday.
Reuel Randolph put BHS ahead in the third minute, when he took a shot from the centre line after the referee had signalled there was an infringement. The shot went straight into the goalkeeper’s hands, but slipped out and found the back of the net.
Marvin Arjune found the equalizer in the 32 minute.
The second half was dominated by BEI, with Colisi Scipio, Jomal Adams and T’Jon Reid registering goals, before Arjune sealed the issue with his second goal, scored in the 69th minute.
The competition was expected to continue on Thursday afternoon with New Amsterdam Multilateral taking on Vryman’s Erven Secondary.
Multilateral was very impressive with a 14-0 win over Port Mourant in their first game, while Vryman’s Erven recorded a 25-0 win over Central Corentyne Secondary on Tuesday.
On Friday, Tutorial Academy will take on BEI in the first quarter-final match.
