Giant killers St. Angela’s will have the opportunity to claim both the Girls and Boys titles at the Pee Wee level after reaching the final of the 3rd Annual Smalta Girls Football Competition following their 2-1 extra time win
over South Ruimveldt yesterday, at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
They will now face West Ruimveldt who defeated St. Pius 1-0 to reach the final for the first time.
Both games provided a lot of excitement for fans and supporters alike and judging from the enthusiasm and determination of the two finalists an enthralling encounter is in the making next Saturday, at the same venue.
In the St. Angela’s versus South Ruimveldt clash, South Ruimveldt took the lead after 15 minutes, courtesy of a Raven Jacobs penalty kick which was awarded following a handled ball infringement.
Coming out in the second period, St. Angela’s searched for the equaliser, playing with high intensity and tenacity and levelled the proceedings through Nikasie St. Jules, who pierced the defence with a powerful shot in the 18th minute.
After that it was end to end action as both teams tried to take the ascendancy, but when the
whistle sounded to end regulation time they remained deadlocked sending the contest into extra time.
Carlotta Ross then gave St. Angela’s the lead in the 32nd minute and they held on to make it to the championship round.
In the other semi-final, West Ruimveldt and St. Pius battled tooth and nail, before a Shaqwana Wright strike in the 15th minute settled the skirmish and hand them a place in the final.
