Teams jostling for maximum points today
With the preliminary rounds near completion, teams will be jostling for maximum points when the Milo/Petra Organisation Schools Football Competition resumes today with four more matches, at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
In the first game of the day, Central High takes on St. Mary’s from 11:00hrs and this is an important encounter for the former, who failed to show for their opening game against Lodge Secondary.
St. Mary’s produced a determined and workmanlike performance to earn a draw against Bishop’s High, so on the basis of their current form should start as favourites.
In attempting to assert Central High’s chances will be nothing more than guesswork so fans will be keen to see what kind of performance they will manufacture when they take the field.
In the second game, Freeburg battles North Ruimveldt at 12:30hrs.
North Ruimveldt should start as favourites in this one, especially after producing a top-class display against North Georgetown who they drubbed 6-0. Once again the likes of Jeremy Garrett and Jamal Europe are expected to lead the assault along with support from Matthew Harrison and Carl Griffith.
Freeburg on the other hand will look to rebound following a loss to one of the tournament’s top teams Tucville in their opening fixture.
The third matchup of the day pits Cummings Lodge versus South Ruimveldt and this game should produce an exciting brand of football.
Picking a winner here is not easy as both teams won their opening encounters and looked in good form.
Cummings Lodge seems the more technically efficient, but South Ruimveldt showed that they are a tenacious bunch and not easily intimidated so an absorbing battle is in the making.
In the final game of the day, defending champions St. George’s take on Charlestown and this clash too should provide entertainment for the fans.
St. George’s commenced their defence of the title with an efficient performance against New Campbellville, winning 2-0, while Charlestown gained a walkover from St. Joseph’s.
However, Charlestown are traditionally strong contenders at the junior level and are anticipated to maintain that practice.
It will be needed against a team that has undoubtedly performed the best among Georgetown teams in recent competitions.
The tournament continues tomorrow with four more matches at the same venue.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
