Courts’ Pee-Wee U11 tournament: St Pius, Marian, West Ruimveldt, Winfer Gardens win big
Another Saturday was filled with exhilarating football action at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground as the younger generation of ballers took to the field to display their skills.
Marian Academy and West Ruimveldt both had something in common; aside from winning their encounter, they were able to hammer home five goals against their respective opponents. Winfer Gardens Primary hammered home six, but St. Pius Primary outdid the rest of teams by romping to a 7-0 victory over Den Amstel Primary.
Ezekiel Lynch of St Pius opened the scoring in the 7th minute, but before he could complete his brace in the 18th, his team mate Omar Moses added another to the tally in the 7th. The second-half play produced the Octain Moore show, a skilful player who netted a hattrick in the 26th, 28th and 30th minutes. Javani Tullock added the cherry on top with a late goal in the 38th.
Redeemer Primary fought hard to grind out a 3-2 victory over F.E. Pollard Primary, with David De Costa’s brace in the 6th and 13th minutes giving Redeemer the start they needed. However, a brace from F.E. Pollard’s Darren Mc Farrell in the 9th and 17th minutes threatened Redeemer’s assurance of victory, until Adiel Hamilton found the winning strike in the 40th for Redeemer.
Enterprise Primary had a comprehensive win over Ann’s Grove. Jasha Haynes (6th, 10th), Dontay Kowlessar (18th), and Isandro Vincent (34th) crafted that win.
A hattrick from Christiano La Rose led the way for Marian Academy to secure a 5-0 victory over St. Margaret’s Primary. La Rose found the back of the net in the 12th, 16th and 39th minutes, while his teammates Maxwell Viapree (4th) and Nyal George (10th), added one each for the win.
West Ruimveldt drubbed Colaaco Primary by the same margin. Aaron Archer (15th, 30th), Dane Vancooten (20th, 25th) and Malachi Alleyne (40th) were the marksmen for West Ruimveldt.
A single goal from Nathan Roberts in the 10th minute was all it took for Soesdyke Primary to triumph over North Georgetown Primary.
The final game of the day saw Winfer Gardens administering a 6-0 thumping on St. Stephens Primary. Shamar Bishop found the back of the net in the 11th and 19th, while Niquan Harlequin also contributed a brace in the 26th and 29th. Andrew Robertson (35th) and Jaheem Jansen (32th) completed the tally.
Meanwhile, St Pius, Den Amstel, Tucville, Craig and Smith’s Memorial primary schools all enjoyed walkovers when they were intended to face Mocha, St. Agnes, Sophia, Graham’s Hall and Timehri Primary schools.
