2019 Champions of the Petra-organised Milo Under 18 Schools’ football tournament, Christianburg Wismar Secondary School (CWSS), out of Linden, played to a 3-0 victory over Carmel Secondary, in their first game of the 2022 tournament, on Sunday.
Kelvin Hintzen opened the scoring in the fifth minute after which Jamil James added another in the 19th for a 2-0 scoreline at the half. Kristian Louis added the third in the 70th minute for Christianburg’s win.
Speaking with Guyana Times Sport after the game, Hintzen assessed his team’s performance while Coach Delon London shared their simple game plan.
“Well, the game was alright. We come, did the work that we set to put out and we had a good game. Three goals, that was good,” the CWSS player shared.
Stand-in Coach London said, “Basically, it’s just come out, knock the ball around and when we get the opportunity take the shot ,and that’s about it. Keep knocking the ball and take the shot when they open.”
“As the defending champions we intend on maintaining our winning ways,” he affirmed.
Meanwhile, the second game of Sunday saw West Ruimveldt humbling Marian Academy 3-1.
After a few tries, West sank their first goal in the 24th minute, compliments of Danovan Welcome. However, Marian’s Nicholas Jones made it a 1-all game with a goal in the 14th minute.
It was only until the second half that West was able to pull away from Marian, by way of a Nicholas James brace in the 55th and 58th minutes.
Cummings Lodge Secondary enjoyed a 4-2 win over Uitvlugt Secondary in the following game on Sunday afternoon. Contrary to the game’s eventual result, Uitvlugt were on top of things, with a 2-0 lead by the 22nd minute. One goal each from Uitvlugt’s Niaz Orella (13th) and Nyron Adams (22nd) put them ahead, before the first reply was made by Cummings Lodge’s Daniel Murray in the 24th minute. Six minutes later, Murray levelled the scores, making for an entertaining second segment.
There, Cummings Lodge’s Keyshaun Millington (41st) and Elijah Mendonca (49th) got their team to four goals, while Uitvlugt could not muster a response, for the 4-2 result.
North Ruimveldt Secondary thumped Canje Secondary in the final game 4-0, thanks to an Akeem Perriera one-man show. Perriera was the only man with a remedy for the muddied conditions, finding the back of the net four times in the 10th, 26th, 31st and 41st minutes for North’s win.
Four more games were played on Monday afternoon, as the tournament is expected to continue this weekend at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Carifesta Avenue, Georgetown.
