– Second round set for tomorrow
By Rawle Welch
Following the completion of the Round of 16, quarter final action in this year’s Milo / Petra Organisation Schools Football Competition will commence today with two matches, at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground, starting at 16:00hrs.
The change of venue from the customary Ministry of Education ground is to facilitate students writing examinations and the previous venue not having floodlights to host the late fixtures.
In the opening encounter, Dolphin takes on Charlestown and while both teams enjoyed narrow 1-0 wins against St. Mary’s and Kingston respectively in their previous matches, all those who’ve witnessed they play know that they have lost more to offer and this could very be the game that they both exhibit the talent resident in many of their players.
Dolphin will be relying on Samuel Hunte, Dequan Matthews and Lenroy Forde to lead their attack, while the prolific Aroydy Branford and Omari James will spearhead Charlestown’s quest to progress.
The feature game between Queen’s College and Lodge is rightly billed as that since this clash has all the characteristics of a entertaining matchup with the former marginally favoured due to the unrelenting form that they’ve displayed so far in the competition.
Once again, Jayadev Mana, Ashmar Angel, Michael DaSilva, Aftab Crandon and Stephen King expected to lead a star-studded line-up, while Lodge, a team with a rich history of producing some of the best players at the junior level will have to be at their best to stave off the rampaging Queen’s College unit.
Tavel Jonas, Shemar Smith, Orlando Gravesande, Jarel Grannum and Ryan Hackett, all looked menacingly potent in their previous clash against a solid South Ruimveldt team and that performance should give them enough confidence for today’s battle so an interesting contest is envisaged.
The following day, defending champions St. George’s spring into action against Bishop’s High and this has all the markings of a bruising encounter.
As usual, the champs have no equal when it comes to determination, this has been their strength from the inception of the competition and they will need such against an improved Bishop’s High that has shown enough resilience and skill to not be taken lightly.
Joel Morrison, Davin Chan, Nathaniel King and Romario Gonsalves are all in rich form for Bishop’s High, while St. George’s will be encouraged by theirs as well after having at least eight players on the scoresheet in their round of 16 encounter against a hapless Tucville that conceded 11 goals.
Quincy Lawrence, Okeri Codrington, Ozeal Small, Adolph George, Seon Taylor, Joshua Williams, Jamal Brown and Niante Northe, all got into the act and should be oozing with confidence subsequent to their individual performances.
The Christ Church versus Queenstown affair is a hard one to choose a winner, but judging from past performances one would be tempted to pick the latter.
Queenstown eased past the highly favoured Carmel in an impressive display with William DeSantos, who netted a brace and Nicholas McArthur, the players on target, while Christ Church, though, they prevailed on penalty kicks against another highly touted team in Chase Academy.
Andre Trotz and Kadeem Blackman seems to be the marquee players for them and they automatically will be relied on to lead them to victory. The two days promises to showcase an abundance of talent and scouts from inside and outside of the Capital City are being advised not to miss the spectacle.
Please be reminded that the venue is the historical Mecca for football, the GFC ground.
