GITC, St George’s record similar victories over opponents
… Williams hits brace for St George’s

BOTH GEORGETOWN Industrial Training Centre (GITC) and reigning Georgetown champions St George’s Secondary yesterday recorded a similar margin of victory over their respective opponents, when play in this year’s fourth Annual Digicel Inter-Secondary School Football Championships continued.

Playing at the Ministry of Education ground on Carifesta Avenue, GITC disposed of a game St Mary’s lineup 3-1, while the scoreline read the same at the Camp Ayanganna ground, where St George’s met Queen’s College, with Williams scoring a double for St George’s.
At the Ministry of Education ground which has become a home for school football, GITC started briskly against St Mary’s who, after settling in, made their more illustrious opponents work for the ball – something they were prepared to do.
As was expected, GITC opened the scoring in the 21st minute, when Shane Morris, whose well directed free kick was headed away for a corner one minute earlier, curved the ensuing kick to the back of the net from the right hand side.
However, St Mary’s nullified that goal with one of their own four minutes later, thanks to the efforts of Alwin Haynes who beat GITC custodian Azariel Doris with a chip over his head, which he parried into his own goal.
The scoreline remained 1-1 at halftime, but on the resumption of play, GITC swarmed their opponents who were showing signs of tiredness, despite the hard-working efforts of Kareem Craig and were rewarded with two more goals off the boot of Shamar Myers (38th) and Egbert Nedd, with Morris being the supplier of the ball on both occasions from the right wing.
At Camp Ayanganna, Williams scored in the 13th and 65th minutes and received support from Robby McGloggan who found the back of the net in the 43rd minute to steer St George’s who placed fourth last year, to victory, with Aftab Crandon pulling one back for Queen’s College in the 67th minute.
