Premiership football … St George’s, North R/veldt into quarter-finals

BISHOPS’ High yesterday exited the Premiership Sports Promotion (PSP) schools football tournament on a low note after being beaten 4-2 by tournament favourites St George’s.

Playing under fierce heat in the first game of the knockout stage at the Ministry of Education ground, Bishops’ failed to find a defensive answer for Robby McCloggan who netted a double.
St George’s went into an early lead when McCloggan found the net with the game eight minutes old. However, Bishops’ High equalised four minutes later when Joel Morrison beat the goalkeeper from the penalty spot.
A shot from Sheldon Reid in the 17th minute regained the lead for St George’s. Bishops’ proved a fighting bunch and levelled the score in the 22nd minute with an Imran Khan right-footer.
McCloggan completed his double in the 27th minute while Jameer Wilson sealed the issue in the 45th minute.
In the second match played yesterday North Ruimveldt Multilateral defeated St Stanislaus 2-0. The teams played without scoring up to halftime.
Upon resumption, Tyrice Rowley and Matthew Harrison netted in the 37th and 69th minutes respectively.
The tournament continues tomorrow at the same venue with two more matches. In the opening game Tutorial High clash with St Mary’s while Lodge face Queenstown Secondary in the second match scheduled to start at 15:00hrs.
The winner of the first match will meet St George’s in a quarter-final scrap while North Ruimveldt Multilateral meet the winner of the second match.
