BV/Triumph 8th of May Movement Annual Village Anniversary Celebrations

…U-17 Soccer Competition Opens with Kingston’s Astonishing Header

The BV/Triumph 8th of May Movement Village Anniversary Celebration activities continued this past Sunday, at the Beterverwagting Community Centre Ground with the commencement of the Under 17 Inter-Block Soccer Tournament.
Some four competing teams; namely Ogle Street, Central, Backdam and Side-line did battle among themselves with saw Ogle Street emerging winners over Central. The two teams, Ogle Street and Central, engaged in over 90 minutes of competitive action as they appeared closely matched in skill and tactics.
Both sides provided the sizeable crowd with much excitement, as they exhibited exceptional offence and defense with their goal keepers being equal to the task by preventing a number of possible goals with superb athletic and agility skills which gave their teams the best opportunities of gaining the advantage.
Nevertheless, it would be Shamar Kingston’s consistent awareness and superb positioning in the box that enabled him to receive a cross from the left wing by diving and heading the ball to the Centre of the goal just under the top bar.
Shamar Kingston’s goal, left Central’s goalkeeper and teammates stunned and flattened as the ball bored the net for Ogle Street to register the first and only goal of the match. With timing running out, Central seemed too bewildered to recover, and though they made valiant attempts to equalize the score, Ogle Street goalkeeping and defense proved too good to penetrate, as the match ended 1-0 in favour of Ogle Street.
The next BV/Triumph Movement Under-17 Inter Block Soccer match is set for May 8; with Backdam opposing Sideline.
