Three more teams will be eliminated when action in the Milo/Petra Organisation Under-20 Schools Football Competition continues today with a triple header, at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
In the opening fixture from 12:00 hrs Charlestown takes on Tutorial High and that will be followed by the clash between Lodge and Carmel at 13:50 hrs, before New Campbellville and
Chase Academy square off in the final game of the day at 15:45 hrs.
The Charlestown versus Tutorial affair should see the former advancing if one is to judge the strength of the two teams on previous performances and paper.
Charlestown will be relying on the services of the in-form Anthony Bartholomew, Shane Morris and Omari James to take them into the next round, but on the other hand, Tutorial’s chances of winning will rest on the shoulders of Teshawn Rodney, who has shown admirable ability, Alistair Walker and Steve Staunton.
The Lodge versus Carmel showdown is an interesting contest and could go either way.
Lodge has shown the tenacity and pedigree to upstage any team in the competition and the skills and composure of players such as Travis Simpson, Kevin Butters and Sherwin Joseph will be on full display, while Marlon Nedd, Aubrey Hodge, Jamal Hamilton and Moses Gritten will also be aiming to showcase their brand of talent in the eagerly anticipated encounter.
In the day’s final clash, Chase Academy who started the competition slowly has looked impressive as the tournament progressed, playing with greater confidence and fluidity and could pose a formidable challenge to New Campbellville, another team that has played with an admirable level of consistency.
Chase’s quest for victory will be spearheaded by Ryan Watson, Carl Semple, Isaiah Reddy and Steve Sankar, while New Campbellville’s search for a win and a place in the next round will rely on the performances of Shamar barrow, Keon David and Shemar Fraser.
With one round of the knockout phase completed, today’s matches should produce even more excitement as schools position themselves top win the coveted first prize.
The top four schools will receive cash awards that will go towards the creation of a project of their choice.
The champion school will receive $200,000, runner-up $100,000, third place $50,000 and fourth $25,000. All four institutions will also be given medals and trophies, while the Most Valuable Player, Highest Goal scorer, Best Goalkeeper, Best Coach and Most Supportive Parent will be recognised for their achievements.

12:00 hrs- Tucville take on North Ruimveldt
