The Upper Corentyne Technical Training Centre (UCTTC) and the New Amsterdam Technical Institute (NATI) on Wednesday became the latest winners in the ongoing, inaugural MODEC Tertiary Education Football tournament.
The football action moved to the Scott’s Ground in New Amsterdam, where a clash between UCTTC and the University of Guyana (UG) Tain Campus was first up in the doubleheader.
UCTTC’s Rarvon Simon broke the ice between the two teams in the 12th minute, while Joshaun Marshall doubled their lead by the 15th. Marshall then went on to register the first hat-trick of the tournament with goals in the 21st and 25th minutes.
Solomon Lowenfield later added a brace to UCTTC’s tally in the 43rd and 65th minutes to cap off the 6-0 win.
NATI later edged Port Mourant Technical Institute (PMTI) 2-1 in the following encounter.
Feaad Hussein put NATI in the lead early, netting a brace in the 20th and 22nd minutes. However, PMTI’s Akadien Kenneth made a sprint for a comeback with a 36th-minute strike, but PMTI just could not find the equaliser in the remaining minutes.
The MODEC Tertiary tournament is scheduled to continue on Thursday, February 12, with a clash between the Mahaicony Technical Institute (MTI) and the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA) at the Number Five Ground, West Coast Berbice. That match is set to kick off at 15:00h.
