Marian, West Ruimveldt to vie for Championship honours
Marian Academy and West Ruimveldt Primary will contest the final of the seventh annual Courts/Malta Schools Pee-Wee Football Tournament after contrasting semi-final victories on Saturday at the Banks DIH, Thirst Park Ground.
Marian won 1-0 against Enterprise, an outcome which was no surprise given the solid defence of the inaugural champions coupled with their attacking powers. Malik Barker made the difference when he scored in the fourth minute. It was a goal which came after fluid flow of play from the boys in blue.
It was tough going for Enterprise Primary (orange) since they missed some chances against a compact Marian Academy
The other semi-final took extra time to determine the winner between Sophia and West Ruimveldt after scores were locked 1-1 at regulation time. Ian Daniels, who moved his tally to 10 goals in the tournament, opened the scores in the 2nd minute but three minutes later the prolific David Weeks equalized for Sophia.
It was until the six minutes into extra time (40+6) that Daniels again made the conversion. The final is slated for Saturday at the same venue.
