KFC Goodwill International Schools Football tournament: WARAMADONG START WITH WIN
-CWSS draw match with Annai
D.C Caesar Fox Secondary (burgundy) dominated Golden Grove Secondary
Fireworks galore were the order of Thursday afternoon, December 15, when the KFC Goodwill International Schools’ Football tournament got underway.
Following the official march past ceremony, the two fixtures on the cards saw Christianburg Wismar holding defending champions Annai Secondary to a draw, followed by the D.C Caesar Fox (Waramadong) Secondary schooling a haphazard Golden Grove Secondary.
In the first game, Annai opened their account as early as the 4th minute with a goal coming off the boots of Narish Bartholomew. Christianburg Wismar’s Amani King soon equalized with a goal in the 13th minute; and just before the half, CWSS assumed the lead through a strike from Kelvin Hintzen.
The Linden outfit solidified their defenses in the second half, but it was not enough to hold off Adrian Cabral, whose 56th minute goal levelled the scores for a second time in the game.
A third goal was not forthcoming for either side, and the two schools were made to settle for shared points.
A 6-0 drubbing was written in the stars for Golden Grove Secondary in the following game, when they faced the D.C Caesar Fox (Waramadong) Secondary. It took a while for the boys from Region 7 to find their footing, but when they did, it resulted in an onslaught on the Golden Grove goal.
Bevon Jones was the first to find the back of the net – in the 30th minute – and the score remain unchanged until Kenwyn Percy made it a 2-0 affair in the 52nd. Kenron Thomas and Raydon Krammer then netted back-to-back goals in the 56th and 58th minutes to signal trouble for Golden Grove.
With Waramadong not letting up their relentless onslaught, Carlito Joseph’s goal came in the 60th, while Percy completed his brace in the 70th to push their tally to six.
The KFC Goodwill International tournament will continue tomorrow, Saturday December 17, with St. Benedict’s College of Trinidad and Tobago’s taking on Golden Grove Secondary at 17:00hrs, and Christianburg Wismar going toe-to-toe with the SVB Academy of Suriname at 19:00hrs.
