Christianburg, Lodge, Annandale continue to dominate

The Ministry of Education Ground was once again home to Under-18 football action as round two of the Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers Tournament concluded on Monday evening.
Round two action kicked off on Sunday afternoon with Vergenoegen and Marian Academy taking the field to battle. It was an even contest for the first 10 minutes until Vergenoegen found their groove. The scoring began with Troy Skeete’s goal in the 13th minute whilst Ronaldo Macey netted the second in the 47th minute. Brentnol Bobb added a third in the 50th and was followed Skeete with his second in the 56th minute. Chris Smith’s back-to-back goals took Vergenoegen to 6, but Marian Academy were only able to reply with one.
Christianburg Secondary inflicted another high-scoring thrashing on Sunday, this time on Dolphin Secondary. The complete team effort saw six players adding a goal to their names on the score sheet: Randy Pickering, Mickel Adams, Andre Meyers, George Stephen, Decklon Lee and Felix Innis. Their excellent scoring was coupled with an even harder-working defence which completely barred Dolphin from the goal on every opportunity they had. Their teamwork powered them to a 6-0 win.
Lodge Secondary recorded their second victory of the tournament after annihilating Uitvlugt Secondary. After Rasheed Evans got the scoring started in the 14th minute, both Thriston Gordon and Dorwin George contributed two apiece for Lodge’s tally of 5. Uitvlugt, on the other hand, only produced one goal from the boot of Mickel Mckend.
Annandale Secondary also returned for their second win of the tournament versus Charlestown. Playing their usually aggressive game, Carlos Agard’s lone goal for Charlestown was not enough to match Annandale’s three in the heated contest. Roydell Maxwell netted one in the sixteenth, and his teammate came out blazing in the second half with one in the 49th minute and the other in the 54th to secure Annandale’s win.
On Monday afternoon, St Rose’s got their redemption after a first-round loss to The Bishops’ High. In their second match, they met Queen’s College and were able to silence their confident opponents. Kahil Farrington contributed two whilst Ravon Bayley and Isiah Thomas produced one each for their 4-0 win against Queen’s College.
The final match of the round saw The Bishops’ High and Queenstown Secondary being paired to do battle. However, the intense match-up saw not a single goal as both teams failed to hit their target. This resulted in them settling for a draw after their stalemate.
