Limacol Schools’ Football League: Chase, Santa Rosa prevail in low-scoring thrillers

Monday was a day of narrow victories at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground when the New GPC Inc-sponsored Limacol Schools Football League utilized the holiday to execute the 4th round of the competition.
The day’s proceedings began on a tense note, as Ann’s Grove Secondary and Mackenzie High School played to a 1-1 draw.

Then a tense duel between Christianburg Wismar Secondary and Santa Rosa Secondary resulted in the latter edging their Linden opponents by 1 goal.
The depleted CWSS side managed to hold off Santa Rosa for the entirety of the first segment, but when a free kick opportunity came the way of Santa Rosa in the 49th minute, Darius Williams made no mistake, and converted for the lone goal of the game.
Another entertaining battle between what are arguably two of the best teams in school football currently, Chase’s Academy and Carmel Secondary, saw a scoreline similar to the previous game.
While both teams displayed good skill, their inability to finish well and questionable calls from the referees kept the scoreline nil all well into the dying minutes of the game.
Then Chase’s Whitney King, striking from near the edge of the box, was finally able to escape the grasp of Carmel’s keeper Ray Richards to net the lone goal of the game.
At the end of four rounds, Chase’s Academy are the only team with a perfect 12 points from their 4 games. In the second position are Carmel Secondary and Bartica Secondary, trailing with 3 wins (9 points) from four rounds. Santa Rosa Secondary currently rounds off the top four in the League with 2 wins and a draw. Mackenzie High have a win and a draw thus far, while Ann’s Grove Secondary have a draw.
The Petra-organized Limacol Schools’ Football League will continue next Sunday, November 19, at the same Carifesta Avenue venue.
