Christianburg pip New Silvercity to take Edward “Screw” Richmond U-18 Schools title

The Christianburg Wismar Secondary schoolboys beat their New Silvercity counterparts to take their fourth title in the Edward “Screw” Richmond U-18 Schools tournament.
The trophy returned to the Christianburg Wismar Secondary as they triumphed over New Silvercity Secondary 3-1 in the final on Thursday last at the Wisburg Secondary School Ground in Linden.

After falling in the semi-finals at last year’s championship and losing out at the Digicel National Schools final, the ‘Multi’ boys took the title for the fourth time, with Omar Brewley, their top striker, gaining the MVP award, as he netted twice for the champions. It was Brewley who began his team’s scoring in the 25th minute as he converted from a squared ball to take the lead. However, five minutes before the end of the first half, the New Silvercity side brought the game level through a stupendous strike from Emmanuel Atkins as the first half finished 1-1.
Christianburg Wismar would have the final say, as midfielder Andre Major was able to restore the lead when he netted in the 65th minute before Brewley put the game beyond their opponents two minutes later, with the final nail in the coffin for New Silvercity.
In addition to being named the MVP, Brewley also collected the Best Striker award, while his teammates carted off most of the prizes on offer. Major was named Best Midfielder, while Kevin Dornick claimed the Best Defender prize and Nicholas Gentle, Best Goalkeeper. Their coach, Dellon Peters also copped the Best Coach of the Final accolade.
New Silvercity Secondary were named the Fair Play award winners, while Silvercity’s coach, Dwalon Farrel copped the Best Coach of the tournament title and also walked away with the inaugural James Craig Memorial Award, so named in honour of Craig, who was the Organising Secretary for the Linden Chapter of the Edward “Screw”  Richmond Foundation and passed away last year.
