Digicel football: Goals galore as 3 schools sent home

…30 goals scored in 1 day

Footballers went on a goal fest on Monday at the All Saints Ground on Princess Elizabeth Road in New Amsterdam, when the Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) leg of the Digicel Interschool knockout football tournament continued.
New Amsterdam Multilateral gave Port Mourant Secondary a lesson in scoring goals in the opening game of the triple-header when they beat them 14-0.
Kymani Spellen registered a hat-trick, scoring his first in just four seconds after the start of the game with the first shot of the match from the centre which left the goalkeeper spell-bound.

Spellen went on to register goals in the 13th and 23rd minutes. In the 18th minute with New Amsterdam leading 3-0, Eon Henry scored in his own goal to put New Amsterdam Multilateral even further ahead.
However, the top scorer was Feaad Hussein with five goals. He scored in the 30th, 35th, 40th, 50th and 53rd minutes.
Xavier Ferreira scored a double while there was one apiece for Darel Mohabir, Tyrel Chung, and Jahmarir Elgin.
In game two between Berbice High and Tagore Memorial, the two schools battled to the end, with the former eventually coming out victorious 3-2.
For Berbice High, Jahien Elgin with goals in the 15th and 35th minutes and Shawn August, with the final team goal coming off his boots, led the way.
Tagore Memorial got their goals from Christopher Ishwar (second minute) and Chris Poomes (28th minute) in a losing effort.

The goal spree continued when Berbice Educational Institute and Lower Corentyne Secondary met. The one-sided affair saw Berbice Educational Institute registering an 11-1 win over their opponents.
A helmet trick from John Reid led the way. He scored his goals in the 22nd, 23rd, 28th and 51st minutes. Jomal Adonis lent good support with a hat-trick, scoring in the 56th, 60th and 65th minutes of play.
Marvin Arjune netted a double with Colisi Seipo and Reuel Randolph scoring one each, while goalkeeper Dellon Davis scored off the penalty spot.
The Region Six leg of the tournament continues today with two more matches.
Vrymen’s Ervin Secondary will take on Lower Corentyne Secondary in the first game, and then Tutorial Academy, who drew a bye in the first round, will take on Canje Secondary.
Canje Secondary got past Corentyne Comprehensive High having to settle the issue from the penalty spot after the two teams had played to a 2-2 stalemate when referee Colin Bowery blew his whistle.
Canje Secondary had indicated their intentions to stay in the competition and took a 2-0 lead before Comprehensive High bounced back.
Samuel Ogleton sent Canje Secondary into the lead in the 13th minute, followed by a Jermin Singh goal in the 41st minute.
However, two quick goals off the boots of Jaydon Daniels in the 50th and 52nd minutes ensured that the referee would have had more work to do. (Andrew Carmichael)
