Limacol Schools Football league: Chase, Carmel, Bartica continue winning ways

The likes of Bartica Secondary, Chase’s Academy and Carmel Secondary continued their winning ways on Sunday, while Santa Rosa joined in on the party when the Limacol Schools Football League resumed.
At the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Carifesta Avenue, two close-call encounters highlighted the display of the best of Guyana’s schools’ football talent; while the three points came much easier for others.
The first game of the day saw Bartica Secondary getting past Mackenzie High 2-1, to maintain their perfect record.
Billy Smith opened the scoring for Bartica in just the third minute of the game, while Dison Stephen made it a 2-0 affair in the seventh. However, Mackenzie’s Azizi Grant would bring some excitement to the encounter with a strike in the 69th minute; but it was a little too late for the Linden outfit.
Next, Chase’s Academy whipped Ann’s Grove Secondary 7-0. After Tyrel Walcott opened the scoring in the 10th minute, Omar Sam brought Chase’s tally to 3-0 with a double strike in the 16th and 17th minutes. Bryan Wharton would later add another two goals in the 21st and 28th minutes, while Neeiaz Baksh would cap off the game with a brace of his own in the 29th and 68th minutes.
Another close encounter saw Carmel Secondary coming from one goal down to defeat Christianburg Wismar Secondary School (CWSS). CWSS took the lead by way of a Lyndon Gray goal in the 15th minute. It was only in the 24th minute that Carmel found a reply off the boots of Ian Daniels. The scores remained locked well into the second segment, but Amar Husbands broke the ice in the 69th minute to hand Carmel the 2-1 victory.
Santa Rosa Secondary, after being held to a draw in Round One, bounced back to close the day’s proceedings with a comfortable 3-0 win over East Ruimveldt Secondary.
Keshon Campbell netted Santa Rosa’s first goal in the 17th minute, and it was not until the 47th that the next goal was witnessed, compliments of Darius Williams. Shemmol Chan’s 64th minute goal brought up the third for Santa Rosa.
The NEW GPC INC-sponsored Limacol Schools Football League is set to continue at the same venue next Sunday, with another four exciting match-ups.
