Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers Schools Football League: Golden Grove, CWSS to clash for title, after exciting 6th round
Cummings Lodge, Dolphin, and Christianburg Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) have each recorded victories in the Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers Schools Football League, but the most notable victory was recorded by Golden Grove, which, by virtue of a 3-1 win over North Ruimveldt Multilateral, have set up a clash with CWSS for a chance to grab the 3rd Guyoil/ Tradewind Tankers Schools’ Football League title.
In what was the final game of the day on Monday at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Golden Grove found themselves trailing early on as they faced off with North Ruimveldt, Hansjie Camacho, the man for North, having netted in the 19th.
However, Golden Grove’s reply came roughly ten minutes later off the boots of Captain Kelon Croal, whose
signature long-range shot at goal only inspired his charges, as Kelvin Richardson added to Golden Grove’s tally six minutes later.
With the lead in their possession, Golden Grove shut down Multi’s scoring opportunities; and with a penalty opportunity of their own in the 60th, goal-keeper Emmanuel Lewis was able to extend their winning tally to 3-1.
Earlier in the day, Cummings Lodge added three points to their tally with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Friendship Secondary. Fabian Figueria led the way with a brace in the 13th and 33rd, while Antwan Samuels and Nicholas Watts added one each in the 17th and 40th respectively. An own goal on Friendship’s part completed the five.
Dolphin Secondary also hammered home five goals when they opposed West Ruimveldt in the following game, which ended with a 5-1 result. Dolphin’s spoils were shared evenly between Nicholas Tappin (6th), Jequan Cole (8th), Reaquan Corbin (30th), Jamal Williams (46th) and Gerry Burnette (60th).
West Ruimveldt’s consolation goal came off the boots of Elijah Marcus in the 20th minute.
Christianburg Wimar stuck to their winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 win over President’s College. Khristian Louis, Kelvin Hintzen and Kemani Field netted in the 34th, 45th and 48th, while their defense kept PC quiet.
The win for Golden Grove and CWSS means these two teams are separated by one point in the league, with CWSS leading and Golden Grove at number 2. As such, with the teams yet to confront each other, the 7th and final round of the league will ultimately determine the winner.
The final leg of the Guyoil/ Tradewind Tankers tournament will be played on Sunday, November 6th. The contest between CWSS and Golden Grove is being viewed as a final, and is scheduled for 6pm on that day. This tournament is also sponsored by MVP Sports.
