Guyoil/ Tradewind Tankers League: North Ruimveldt upset CWSS as league continues

Thus far, Jevon Pluck has presented himself as a worthy striker in the schools’ football arena. However, on Saturday last, the youngster added the title ‘game winner’ to his exploits, after his lone goal challenged the unbeatable Christianburg Wismar Secondary team.

The occasion was the Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers Schools’ Football League, where up to Saturday morning, CWSS were the leading team. That all changed in the second fixture on Saturday afternoon when the Linden outfit opposed North Ruimveldt Secondary.
The anticipated Milo 2022 final rematch was nothing short of exciting and witnessed several near misses. In the second half, Pluck, who has been consistently scoring in the league, sent home a stunner to put North in the lead mere minutes before the end of the game. The defence then went to work to hold off CWSS, who came up empty, succumbing 1-0.
Also in the winners’ circle on Saturday were President’s College. PC’s opponents, Friendship Secondary, were actually the first to score, as Kevon Williams and Rayon Emmanuel struck back-to-back goals in the 30th and 35th minutes.
Two minutes later, Ronoko Vaugh found PC’s first goal. Vaugh returned in the 67th minute to level the scores and then, it was heartbreak for Friendship, who continue to languish at the bottom of the table in the Guyoil League. PC’s Wilton Sebastian joined the party in the 70th minute to push PC to a 3-2 victory.
Golden Grove Secondary also hammered home three goals when they faced off against West Ruimveldt Secondary later that afternoon. Kelon Croal, Nathan Saw, and Kelvin Richardson were the marksmen for Golden Grove in the 4th, 53rd and 70th minutes. Meanwhile, Donovan Welcome issued the lone reply for West Ruimveldt in the 40th minute.
The final game of the day witnessed a drawn result between Dolphin Secondary and Cummings Lodge. Jequan Cole was the first to find the back of the net for Dolphin in the 8th minute. It was only until the second half that Elijah Mendonca erased their lead in the 68th minute for a 1-1 scoreline at the end of regulation time.
Based on Saturday’s results, Golden Grove and President’s College now lead the league, with two wins and a draw from three games. CWSS have two wins and a loss from three games, while Cummings Lodge have two draws and a victory. North Ruimveldt has a win, a draw and a loss, and Dolphin Secondary have managed two draws and a loss.
Friendship Secondary are yet to pick up any points in the league after three losses.
The Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers League will continue this weekend at the Ministry of Education Ground (MoE), Carifesta Avenue.
