The New GPC-sponsored Limacol Schools Football League is set to continue today at the usual venue, the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground on Carifesta Avenue in Georgetown.
The League is now in its fifth round, and although several players are in Suriname competing at the Inter-Guiana Games, today’s matchups are sure to be interesting. Chase’s Academic Foundation, whose forward players Omar Sam and Bryan Wharton are in Suriname, will be opposing Mackenzie High School from 15:00hrs.
Mackenzie High have, over the four rounds played thus far, been knocking on the door, but their ultimate test lies in today’s action, with the absence of some of their opponents’ best players potentially tipping the balance in their favour.
The second game of the day will pit Ann’s Grove Secondary against Carmel Secondary from 16:30hrs. Carmel will be without the services of their Captain Shem James, who is also with the Under-17 national team in Suriname. Nonetheless, the onus will be on the Digicel 2023 Champions to prove they can stand up to the test of Ann’s Grove, even without James’s good leadership.
Thus far, Chase’s Academy are the only unbeaten team in the League, with four wins in as many games. Carmel Secondary and Bartica Secondary both have 3 wins from 4 games, while Santa Rosa Secondary have two wins and a draw.
