St. George’s, Bishops’ record wins in Milo U-20 Schools football : ..Queen’s College, South Ruimveldt battle to intense draw

Action in the Petra/Milo Under-20 Schools Football Competition continued  yesterday with three more matches at the Ministry of Education Ground, Carifesta Avenue where two teams claimed victory and two teams romped to a nail biting draw. In the opening match, St. George’s Secondary defeated Tutorial High School 2 – 0, then Bishops  High School got past Cummings Lodge Secondary 3 – 2, while South Ruimveldt held Queen’s College to a 3 – 3 draw.

St. George’s had Azuma Small to praise for their win against Tutorial as he was clinical in his finishing. He accounted for both goals which were scored in the 37th and 58th minute.

Game two saw an aggressive Cummings Lodge team being settled by Bishops as they registered an amazing come-from-behind win.

Cummings Lodge moved on the ball from the opening whistle and in turn, scored two quick goals. The first was scored as early as the eighth minute by Hudqon Henry, then his teammate Russell Madramootoo scored the second goal in the 15th minute.

However, the spirit of the opposition was not daunted as they pulled one back in the 23rd minute compliments of Nathael King. His teammate Shamul Lewis found the equaliser in the 33rd minute which made it more interesting.

In the second half, the lone goal was scored off the boot of Lewis in the 62nd minute, a goal that the opposition had no answer for.

The day wrapped up with a thriller, see-saw battle that saw South Ruimveldt taking the lead against QC in the 22nd minute when Steffon Enno scored, but the equaliser came in the 34th minute from Stephen Rutherford.

At the stroke of half time Rutherford took the lead for QC when he found the back of the net.

The second half began with QC leading 2 – 1 before they made it a two-possession game in the 51st minute when Rutherford completed his hat-trick.

South Ruimveldt happened to pull one back in the 54th minute when Enno completed his brace. Five minutes later Keith Caines made it an even game once again when he found the equaliser for South Ruimveldt. The game remained in the balance until the regulation time whistle was sounded.
