Milo U18 tournament: Chase, Ann’s Grove win big on Day 2
Seven unanswered goals from Chase’s Academy and five from Ann’s Grove Secondary highlighted the second day of play at the Milo Under-18 schools’ football tournament which commenced on Saturday.
There were four games on the cards on Sunday at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Carifesta Avenue.
In the first game of the day, Westminster Secondary walked away with a victory over Annandale Secondary.
Justin Alcindor (on ball) opened the scoring for Chase’s Academy
Westminster’s Samuel McAllister opened the scoring in the 19th minute, while a Harod Haynes double in the 48th and 58th got the West Demerara outfit to three goals. Osafo Brown netted Annandale’s first reply soon after in the 61st minute, while Jayden Harris added another in the 86th. However, it was a little too late for Annandale as Westminster won 3-2.
Charlestown Secondary enjoyed a comfortable 3-1 win over Berbice Educational Institute in the following game.
The first goal of that encounter came in the 21st minute, off the boots of Charlestown’s Andrew Cato. Jermaine Taylor and Tyler Lyle followed up with goals in the 27th and 31st respectively, to bring their tally to three. Meanwhile, Berbice’s consolation goal was fashioned by T’Jon Reid in the 35th.
