Waramadong emulate CWSS with fourth Regional honours
… defeat 3 Miles Secondary 4-2

NOT MANY schools can boast of winning their regional title for four successive years, following the introduction of the Digicel Inter-Secondary School Football Championships, except for two-time defending national champions Christianburg/Wismar Secondary and the school they defeated on both occasions to claim the national title, Waramadong Secondary.Yesterday at the Bartica Secondary School ground, Waramadong, who placed fourth in the inaugural tournament when CWSS was defeated by Georgetown Technical Institute (GTI) before going down to CWSS in the 2012 and 2013 finals, yesterday defeated 3 Miles Secondary 4-2 to claim their fourth regional title for Region 7.
Uriah King opened the scoring for the eventual champions in the 26th minute, nullifying Keno Washington’s 8th minute strike for 3 Miles Secondary, as both team took the half-time break with the scoreline reading 1-1.
After the break, Ashton Ward handed Waramadong the lead with his 49th minute goal, one that was doubled by Myles Albert, who scored his first of two goals in the 63rd minute, before Washington reduced the deficit for his team by one goal, completing his brace in the 71st minute.
Not to be outdone, Waramadong added a fourth goal of their own, through the spirited efforts of Albert who found the back of the net in the 82nd minute, to complete the win which not only earned Waramadong their fourth regional title, but also $100 000 which will go towards a school project, while they join their nemesis, CWSS, in the national playoffs which will kick off soon.
