Charlestown tastes victory again as girls’ Under-14 league continues

The girls in the ExxonMobil/Petra Under-14 football competition continue to prove they are a match for their male counterparts in talent and skill. In the last round of matches, Charlestown continued on their winning streak, whilst the South Ruimveldt team was happy to be balancing football and academics.
In Saturday’s action, Dolphin Secondary and New Campbellville Secondary met first in a 1-0 encounter which left New Campbellville rejoicing.
Charlestown continued their dominant performance with another win, this time over East Ruimveldt. Possession was dominated by the Charlestown team and their defence was spot on. However, they missed several good attempts at the goal. Their lone goal came from star striker Donna Lowe.
Later on, with goals from Janel Edmondson and Tia Lamaison, Vergenogen Secondary trounced Uitvlugt Secondary 2-0.
In what was probably the most exhilarating match up yet, South Ruimveldt Secondary put on an impressive team effort to crush Tucville Secondary. The 5-1 thriller saw three goals from Amanda McKenzie and one goal apiece from Latisha Sutherland and Angel Denny.
After the match up, their elated coach noted that he is impressed with the performance, especially since they are in the process of completing examinations.
“Given the fact that they would have been participating in the end of term examination and still being able to participate in football would have shown the fruits of what they would have been preparing for. The game today in itself would have shown the ability of the players to do both sports and the academic side.”
Speaking about their performance on the playing field he noted, “The team performance would have been both individual and collective seeing that we have both senior and junior players. The mindset of the players is great at present, going forward we do stand a chance.”
The round robin segment will continue this Saturday at the Education Ministry Ground, Carifesta Avenue.
