Guyoil-Tradewind Tankers League: Golden Grove, PC win to maintain top positions

Golden Grove Secondary maintained their position at the top of the points table in the ongoing Guyoil- Tradewind Tankers schools’ football league, following an easy win on Sunday.

On Sunday, at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, the league witnessed the commencement of the fourth round, where the likes of Golden Grove, Christianburg Wismar Secondary, North Ruimveldt Multilateral and President’s College found themselves in the winners’ row.
North Ruimveldt Multilateral were the first to taste victory on Sunday against a struggling Friendship Secondary. Now a regular on North’s scoresheet, Jevon Pluck got the scoring started for the Mandela Avenue-based team, with a goal in the 14th minute. Four minutes later, Bryan Wharton made it a 2-0 affair. Pluck returned in the 22nd to complete his brace and push the score to 3-0 in North’s favour.
Joseia Joseph’s 27th minute goal for North propelled the scores to 4-0, where it stayed for the remainder of the first half.
Hoping to bring down the deficit, Randy Springer found the back of the net in the 50th for Friendship. However, a goal in that very minute from Jeremiah Moore daunted their spirits, as the North went on to win 5-1.
The subsequent match-up between Christianburg Wismar Secondary and Dolphin Secondary resulted in an easy victory for the Linden team. A strike from Khristian Louis in the 32nd minute meant that the scoresheet would only read 1-0 by the end of the first half. However, goals from Kelvin Hintzen in the 50th and Daniel Adolph in the 69th pushed Christianburg’s tally to three by the end of the game. Dolphin Secondary went down without so much as a reply.
One goal was all it took for President’s College to overpower West Ruimveldt Secondary in the next game. The winning strike came off the boots of Juan Moses in the 21st minute and several throwaways later, President’s College celebrated their narrow victory.
A Kelvin Richardson brace in the final game on Sunday, meant that Golden Grove Secondary would remain the league leaders for another week. While taking on Cummings Lodge Secondary, Richardson found the back of the net in the 13th and later, in the 50th to ensure Golden Grove would walk away with a 2-0 win.
The victory means that the East Coast-based team will lead the Guyoil-Tradewind Tankers for another week with three wins and one draw from four games. President’s College remain in second position with a similar number of games won and drawn, but with a lesser goal difference. Christianburg Wismar complete the current top three with three wins and a loss from their four.
The Guyoil-Tradewind Tankers League, organised by Petra, will continue next Sunday at the same venue.
