Tutorial High (Black and White) in action
It was a thrilling contest between North Ruimveldt Multilateral and st. John’s College for the penultimate game of the day, which boiled down to kicks from the penalty area. Though North Ruimveldt held their nerve for the win, they were later disqualified for fielding an ineligible player and as such, St. John’s got a lifeline.
The last game on Saturday saw Tutorial High coming from behind to defeat Tucville secondary 3-1. Tucville struck first through Shaquan Deen in the 17th minute and it was only until the 48th that Tutorial’s Travis Grogan was able to equalize. Desean Sookram (58th) and Azariah Pilgrim (68th) found the back of the net for Tutorial to seal the win.
In the final round of the playoff at the same venue on Sunday, Tutorial edged Brickdam 3-2.
Brickdam Secondary enjoyed an early two goal advantage when Cherub Trim got the ball rolling in the 3rd minute while his teammate, Theon Manawakhar followed up in the 7th. However, a hattrick off the boots of Tutorial’s Travis Grogan in the 42nd, 68th and 70th minutes booked the Woolford Avenue side’s spot in the tournament.
St. John’s College then made the most of their lifeline, defeating St. Stanislaus College 2-0. Teron Farose registered a race for St. John’s in the 7th and 12th minutes of the encounter.
