Milo U18 Football Tournament: Waramuri, Bush Lot, Dolphin keep records clean
Another weekend of exhilarating Under-18 school football action saw the usual suspects walking away with victories as Round 2 of the Milo tournament continued on Sunday at the Ministry of Education (MoE) and Queen’s College Grounds.
At the MoE Ground on Carifesta Avenue, a Quaency Fraser double in the 11th and 64th minutes helped Bush Lot Secondary to their second consecutive win, defeating Ann’s Grove 3-1. While Gary Blair added to Bush Lot’s tally in the 48th minute, Jaylon Adams registered Ann’s Grove’s consolation in the 53rd minute.
A high-scoring thriller followed as Westminster Secondary narrowly got past Abram Zuil 4-3. Keandre Carr broke the ice early in the sixth minute, followed by a Nickille Watson strike in the 10th for Westminster. Germaine Garnett and Michael Singh joined the party, finding the back of the net in the 17th and 19th minutes to put Westminster ahead by 4 at the half. However, in the second segment, Abram Zuil almost pulled off a stunning comeback with Traven Evans, Omar Kendall and Renando Wilson netting in the 50th, 55th and 69th minutes.
