FEVERISH play with sublime finishing was the theme on ‘Match Day 4’ of the ‘Screw’ Richmond Memorial Football Tournament when action unfolded yesterday at the Wisburg School ground. 

Both Linden Technical Institute (LTI) and Wisburg Secondary recorded wins to secure progression into the semifinal.
LTI managed to outplay a very determined Harmony Secondary School who, due to the physical stature of their team, were almost written off as sturdy competitors.
They (Harmony) however, stood their ground well and had it not been for a couple of defensive lapses, the game could have ended in a possible scoreless draw but instead the LTI earned a 2-0 victory.
Mark Mclean netted in the 54th minute while Collis Benn scored from the penalty spot in the 62nd minute.
Meanwhile, in the day’s second encounter, Wisburg Secondary School made New Silvercity pay dearly for slack defending and poor goalkeeping, as they conducted what some spectators dubbed a ‘scoring clinic’, with, free kick, open play, penalty and even headed goals beating Silvercity custodian five times in their win (5-2).
Wisburg Secondary were led by Orlando Adams’ brace that came in the 8th and 57th minutes and a single strike each from Tshadeki Whitehead (23rd), Akeinie Chapman (46th), and Eldridge Williams (61st).
For the losers, Shane Haynes (24th) and Martin Gullin (59th) were the scorers
Next week’s games are now important for most teams since each group is too close to call and if the trend of the tournament is any consideration, then surprises are bound to happen.
Harmony Secondary will take on defending champions Christianburg Wismar Secondary School (Multi) in game one and Wisburg Secondary will faceoff with Marcia Craig’s Educational Institute in game two.
