As the Digicil Schools Football Championships continue, individual stars are displaying phenomenal talent thus inscribing
their names into the books after top goal scoring performances.
Keith Caines added his name to this growing number of stars when he turned in a classic performance and netted a quartet of goals to lead his team, South Ruimveldt Secondary School to a convincing 9-1 victory over Christ Church Secondary when action in the aforementioned championships continued at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport Ground, Carifesta Avenue, yesterday afternoon.
Joshua Ali supported by Shamar Carrington saved some face for Christ Church when the former player singlehandedly took the ball down the right wing before crossing to the latter whose firm right foot strike breached the South Ruimveldt defense and goalkeeper in the 58th minute.
Otherwise, it was all South Ruimveldt as Caines netted a brace in the first half (10, 25) with support from Ixavier Scott (8, 25) that sent the South Ruimveldt squad into a comfortable 4-0 lead at the end of the first session.
Abdul Edwards joined the party in the 38th minute when he spooned a left foot shot past the Christ Church custodian to stretch the lead to 5-1. Nine minutes later, it was 6-0 when Jermaine Beckles latched on to a ball from the right flank and ferociously butted it past the Christ Church custodian.
The leading team then wrung a change and substituted Ixavier for Rickwan Chester and soon afterwards, Kevin McPherson stretched the lead with a vicious offering in the 54th minute. That goal prompted some action from Christ Church and Ali’s cross was intercepted by Carrington who sent in what eventually turned out to be the lone success for Christ Church Secondary. Caines then ensured that his team stayed comfortably ahead when he sent in the last two goals of the match to send his team onward to the next round.
The action shifts to the West Coast at the Den Amstel Community Centre Ground this afternoon when West Demerara Secondary takes on Institute of Professional Education while there will also be keenly contested matches in other regions countrywide.
