-Defending champions held to draw
THANKS to a brace from Joel Morrion, Bishops’ High School were able to come away with a 5-1 victory over School of the Nations, when action in this year’s Milo sponsored Petra Organization organized Under-20 Schools Football Championships continued at the Ministry of Education ground yesterday.

On the same day, defending champions St. George’s Secondary were held to a nil all draw by Queenstown Secondary, even as Lodge and Dolphin Secondary Schools got past St Mart’s and South Ruimveldt Secondary in their respective encounter.

Morrion found the back of the net in the 2nd and 52nd minutes of play and along with goals from David Chan (30th), Nathaniel King (54th) and Romario Gonsalves’ 59th minute, ensured Bishops came out on top, even as Lyndon Dorway pulled one back for School of the Nations in the 7th minute.

After witnessing St. George’s who looked in danger of failing to make the knockout phase which kicks off this weekend, being held to the draw, Dequan Matthews (15th) and Lenroy Forde (52nd) were on target for Dolphin Secondary in their win over South Ruimveldt.

Orlando Greaves (15th), Tavel Jones (45th) and Jarel Grannum (51st) found the back of the net for Lodge Secondary, who stamped their authority over St. Mary’s to come away with the 3-0 win, thus boosting their confidence ahead of the next phase of the competition.
The action is set to continue at the same venue today, where four more matches will be played, thus closing the curtains on the preliminary round of the competition.
