Wins for IBE and Annandale Secondary as G’town fixtures rained out

YESTERDAY afternoon amid heavy overcast conditions, both the Institute of Business Education (IBE) and Annandale Secondary School chalked up victories in their respective match of this year’s fourth annual Digicel Inter-Secondary School Football Championships.While rain, which drenched Georgetown and parts of its environs, prevented any play in the matches that were scheduled for the capital city, IBE met Buxton Secondary in the first of two matches at the Beterverwagting Community Centre ground.
Indebted to a double strike from Jason Cromwell who found the back of the net in the 26th and 66th minutes of play, complemented by Deshawn Trotz’ solitary strike in the 39th minute, IBE waltzed away with a 3-0 win over Buxton.
In the second match of the day at the same venue, Annandale, through an Ian Docker goal in the 32nd minute, held a 1-0 advantage over Bygeval Secondary until the final minute of play, the 70th, in which Shafeer Sanichar found the back of the net for Bygeval forcing the game to be decided via penalty kicks.
Docker, Jeremiah Thorne, Kristoff Stoll and Keon Gooding buried their spot kick for Annandale, while watching their teammate Sven Anthony missed his own. Sanichar proved that his last-minute goal was no fluke when he scored his spot kick, along with Raphael Bovell and Orette Forde. Kelvin James and Stephen Petrie missed theirs. (Calvin Roberts)
