Lodge Secondary School behind an awesome display of strength and skill, hammered New Campbellville Secondary 5-0 to emerge as Georgetown Zone champions of the second annual Digicel Nationwide Schools Football Championship played at the Carifesta Sports Complex ground yesterday.
Before a fair-sized crowd, the Lodge lads took the lead in the 10th minute through Travis Lyken who exhibited great skill and football intelligence to dribble through a number of the opposition’s defenders, before beating the goalkeeper.
New Campbellville Secondary School responded with two powerful shot on goal but their efforts were futile, as the score remained 1-0 at the half.
Upon resumption, Lodge peaked with Keith Fletcher scoring a hat-trick in the 49th, 50th and 59th minutes, as he wreaked havoc on the opposition backline to significantly increase his team advantage. Jarel Tom eventually gave the champs a bigger cushion with his goal in the 80th minute.
The relentless assault by Lodge did not let up on New Campbellville defence with their goalkeeper forced to make some good saves to prevent further embarrassment to the stroke of full time.
The winning team received a trophy and medals along with a full complement of gears including uniforms, balls and shin pads for their effort, while the losers were presented with medals.
Meanwhile, the tournament continues today and tomorrow with three games each.
East Coast champions Bygeval Secondary will take on East Bank winners Friendship in the Region Four final from 15:30 hours at the Grove Community Centre, while the Region Eight final will see Paramakatoi Secondary up against hosts Mahdia from 15:30 hours.
The other game today will see action in round two of the Region Nine zone at the Lethem Community Centre from 16:00 hours.
Tomorrow, there will be three games in the Playoff stage, with Region Seven playing Region One at either the Bartica or Karamang ground; Region Eight versus Region Ten at the Mahdia Community Centre; and Region Nine tackling Region Five at the Lethem Community Centre.
All games on Sunday will kick off at 16:00 hours.
