A MOUTHWATERING climax to the inaugural Fazia’s Collection-sponsored West Demerara Football Association Girls Under-17 Inter-Secondary School tournament is anticipated tomorrow afternoon at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground, West Coast Demerara, following two exciting semifinal encounters.
In the final semifinal encounter on Wednesday afternoon at the same venue, Zeeburg Secondary needled a defiant Uitvlugt Secondary on account of a well-directed 14th minute free kick by Margaret Pillay.
The free kick was awarded as a result of Uitvlugt’s goalkeeper stepping outside the box with the ball in hand; and that was all the opportunity that Zeeburg required to book their place in the championship game tomorrow.
Zeeburg did not have an easy time against the Uitvlugt girls and had to defend for all their worth. Led by Mariam Pillay they were composed and compact in their defensive third, thwarting many attempts by Uitvlugt.
Leonora had stormed into the championship game following a massive 10-0 triumph over St. John’s Secondary with Abioce Heywood creating history by scoring 7 of her team’s goals.
Tomorrow’s final game has all the ingredients for a fitting climax to this history-making tournament, the first of its kind on the West Side for girls.
St John’s and Uitvlugt will face off in the third place game from 14:00hrs, to be followed by the big clash at 16:00hrs.
