Campbells help Kwakwani eliminate Linden Technical Institute

By Stephan Sookram
IT was a tale of the Campbells, Keith and Cassius, that dominated the lone Kwakwani fixture in the Region 10 leg of the Digicel Schools Football Championships yesterday.

The duo, not related, shattered the hearts of the Linden-based side when they scored on either half of the game to secure the win for the little community just outside of Linden.
From the “get go,” the Kwakwani side looked to be the more hungry as they continually raided the opposition camp with a variety of ranged shots from as far as 35 yards out.
One Campbell shot skewed its way past the keeper, but flew inches above the cross bar leaving the Kwakwani fans and players slightly heartbroken.
However, Keith would make no mistake in the 14th minute when a cross-in from the right side found him unmarked, which he successfully nailed past the keeper for the first goal of the game.
The half would go on to see further raids by the Kwakwani team, even as the rain began to pour. The scarce Linden side’s attempts skewed wide and were not much of a threat to the Kwakwani keeper as the half ended in the favour of the home side.
The second half resumed as the showers eased and again Kwakwani had taken to attacking, the Linden side having no option but to play defensively, considering the fact that they were behind the proverbial eighth ball.
They could not however find an answer for substitute Cassius, who collected a cross inside the eight-yard box before successfully finishing for his side’s second goal in the 75th.
Further tries by the Kwakwani side to get a third proved futile, as time ran out, but there were celebrations long into the night in the little community of Linden.
