Tutorial Academy Secondary (TASS) is the latest to score a win in the Berbice leg of the 2014 Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Academy when the eked out a hard fought 3-2 victory over Vryman’s Erven Secondary School (VESS) when play in the competition continued with a first round game at the Esplanade Park in New Amsterdam, Berbice last week.
In a game that was evenly contested with fortunes changing hands constantly both teams played as if their lives depend of the contest.
It was TASS that opened the scoring in the 12th minute after they were awarded a penalty following a desperate tackle in the 18-yard box by one of the VESS players. The Orin Glen penalty was well taken and sent TASS ahead.
That goal must have jolted the VESS lads who upped their game and came back hard, throwing everything at their opponents resulting in a 15th minute goal by Dexter Welcome. It was VESS that took the lead in the 26th minute off the boot of Osafo McDonald to make it 2-1 in their favour. That goal also energised the TASS team as they came roaring back to equalize in the 30th minute to end the score at 2-2 at half time.
One minute into the second half TASS went ahead when the probing Joshua Butts got his reward when a well taken free kick just outside the penalty area flew pass the VESS wall and goalkeeper to give TASS the 3-2 lead.
Both teams continued to press on, but no goals ensued as defence held well until the end.
The competition is expected to continue on Tuesday with defending champion Berbice High School (BHS) taking on New Amsterdam Multilateral School (NAMS) at the Esplanade Park from 15:30 hrs. (Samuel Whyte)
