2013 Digicel Nationwide Schools Football Championship…GITC, Christ Church, Leonora among latest winners
Guyana Industrial Training Centre (GITC) defeated Charlestown Secondary by a 4-2 margin as action in the 2013 Digicel Nationwide Schools Football Championship continued yesterday, at the Police Sports Club (PSC) ground, Eve Leary.
The Woolford Avenue and Albert Street unit opened the scoring in the 24th minute through a Clement Edwards strike. Latching onto an expertly weighted lobbed pass over the centre of the defence from the left side of the field, Edwards struck a powerful right foot into the lower left hand corner of the goal. 
GITC doubled their lead five minutes before the break when Jamal McPherson netted from close range. Initiating a counterattack from a resulting Charlestown corner kick, McPherson extended the lead when he fortuitously converted his second right footed strike from within the left side of the six yard area after his first attempt deflected back into his path by the Charlestown custodian.
GITC increased their lead through their dynamic forward Randy Layne in the 52nd minute after he collected a perfectly placed lob that landed in the centre of the Charlestown backline, before the nippy forward powerfully struck his left footed effort to the lower left hand corner of the goal.
Charlestown managed to reduce the deficit to two as they found the back of the net in the 61st minute through an Akeem Clarke header to the top right hand side of the goal from a resulting right side corner.
GITC re-established their three goal advantage with Layne completing his brace in the 72nd minute.
Intercepting a poor clearance from the Charlestown custodian, Layne easily converted his left footed strike after being left unmarked in the 18 yard area.
Charlestown netted a consolation goal in the 89th minute through a Shane Morris penalty kick following a GITC infringement in the penalty area by their goalkeeper.
