Republic Bank U18 League: Waramuri, Chase, Dolphin perfect in Round 3
The golden trio – Dolphin Secondary, Chase’s Academic Foundation and Waramuri Secondary – kept their records clean on Saturday afternoon when the Republic Bank Under-18 Football League went into Round 3 of 7.
The action began at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground on Saturday with Waramuri Secondary thrashing East Ruimveldt Secondary 8-0.
Denzel Abrams opened the scoring in the 15th minute and made it a 2-0 game by the 20th. Orwin Abrams pushed the score to 3-0 one minute later and went on to complete his hat-trick with strikes in the 24th and 60th.
Rondel Peters added a brace to the equation in the 40th and 44th minutes, while Ricardo Lewis added the cherry on top of the cake with a goal in the 51st.
Dolphin Secondary (blue) ease past President’s College
The second game of the day saw Dolphin Secondary easing past President’s College 3-0. Collin David netted early in the third minute while his teammate Kawson Chance pushed the score to 2-0 by the 12th.
David returned in the 16th minute to find the back of the net a second time, but that would be the end of the scoring for Dolphin as their opponents tightened their defences in the second half.
A nail-biter followed next, featuring Chase’s Academic Foundation and a determined West Ruimveldt Secondary. West Ruimveldt displayed the best of their defending to stifle Chase’s, who were already missing one of their better strikers, owing to a red card in their previous game.
However, Isaiah Ifill would capitalise on a set piece from the corner, connecting in a header in the 47th minute which would eventually become the game winner in the 1-0 contest.
Waramuri Secondary (black and white) thumped East Ruimveldt
The curtains came down on Round 3 with an exciting 2-2 draw between South Ruimveldt and Bartica Secondary. Bartica’s Billy Smith struck first, in the 28th minute and the reply came almost instantaneously from South, with Devonte Gaime finding the back of the net in the 19th minute.
Rockclif Adamson would score next in the 39th minute to put Bartica ahead again, but an unfortunate own goal from the Region Seven camp led to the scoreline equalising for a second time that evening. The final whistle eventually came with the score still locked at 2-2.
Round 4 of the Republic Bank League continued on Sunday, the results for which will be published in a subsequent edition of Guyana Times Sport.
The League is also supported by Guyana Beverages Inc under its Busta brand, MVP Sports, and Tiger Rentals Guyana.
