A full weekend of Milo Schools’ Under-18 football saw defending champions Christianburg Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) sending a strong warning to all challengers in this year’s competition; but the likes of Essequibo’s 8th of May Secondary and Region One’s Santa Rosa Secondary showed they are ready to rumble.
On Saturday, at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Carifesta Avenue, Cummings Lodge Secondary edged St Cuthbert’s Mission 2-1 in the first game.
