Home Sports Christianburg continue to dominate Guyoil U18 tournament
Wismar Christianburg Secondary School continued to show that they are among the best in the Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers-sponsored Under 18 tournament as they registered yet another win by a large margin on Sunday.
The third round of the tournament continued on Sunday morning with the Bishops’ High School and Uitvlugt being pitted against each other in the first match of the day. Reuben Dainty of Uitvlugt started the scoring in the 19th and then netted another in the 30th, to put Uitvlugt in a comfortable position by the end of the first half.
Anthony Benn later added to Uitvlugt’s tally in the 50th, taking the score to 3-0. Minutes later, Malachi Richards put in the first for Bishops’, but it was a little too late, as the regulated time expired with the score on 3-1.
The second game of the day saw Queen’s College facing off with Vergenoegen. It was truly an intense matchup, as the goals poured in for both teams. Vergenoegen was the first to get a goal on the board, as Rivaldo Smith netted one in the 14th minute; and one minute later, their second came off the boots of Ronaldo Macey. Just a few minutes later, Brentnol Bobb made it three for the East Bank Essequibo team.
Just minutes before the first half expired, Ronneil Lord gave Queen’s College a sliver of hope with their first goal. Lord’s goal gave the team some momentum going into the second, as Darra Thomas pushed the goal count to two in the 47th. However, Vergenoegen came back to push an equaliser a little farther from Queen’s College, as Brentnol Bobb scored his second. Queen’s College were quick to reply with a third, but Jomar Levan soon stepped in to put victory out of reach for QC. Vergenoegen won the encounter 5-3.
The penultimate game of the day could be adjudged the most exciting one yet, as the dominant Wismar Christianburg Secondary took on Marian Academy. The usual suspects from their first two wins were out campaigning for an even bigger win this time around.
Marian weren’t even given a chance to score, as Christianburg’s defence made light work of any of Marian’s advances. However, the Marian goal was a buzz of activity, as Randy Pickering and Tyrese Lewis both netted four, while Andre Mayers found the back of the net thrice. A lone goal from George Stephens took Christianburg’s victory to 12-0.
The final match of the day was yet another high scoring one. Lodge Secondary, who are also front runners of the competition, took to the field to face Charlestown Secondary. Dorwin George had another good game, as he collected a hat trick. Supported by Rickie Stewart with a double, Lodge’s 5 was far out of reach of Charlestown. Isaiah Moore’s goal was the lone reply on Charlestown’s behalf in the 5-1 game.
