DEFENDING champions Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) and Cummings Lodge Secondary were the latest winners when the 5th Digicel Schools Football Tournament continued yesterday. In Linden, ‘Multi’, as they are more popularly known, overcame arch rivals New Silvercity Secondary 4-0 while in the city Cummings Lodge Secondary dismantled Nehemiah Secondary 7-2.
Though the score-line does not reflect how competitive the game was, ‘Multi’ had to dig deep to keep New Silvercity Secondary at bay but the Christianburg community-based school were too strong to keep up with.

Kendolph Lewis opened the scoring in the 23rd minute while Omar Brewley netted in the 34th minute to give ‘Multi’ a 2-0 lead at the end of the first half.
Though New Silvercity had their chances, ‘Multi’ were too strong defensively and, on the other end of the pitch, the three-time champions found the net through Amar Jones (54th) and Antwaine Gill (76th) to advance closer in their attempt to clinch their fourth title.
Meanwhile, Elroy George scored a hat-trick (58th, 65th, 70th) while Frederick Ketwaroo netted a double (12th and 25th) and Denzie Price (14th), Shaquille Innis (52nd minute) along with Zeemario Johnny who scored a goal to give Cummings Lodge the convincing win.
For the losers, Aubrey Gill and Jeremiah Rowe were the goalscorers.
With the win, ‘Multi’ will now await the winner between Mackenzie High School and Kwakwani Secondary to play in the final to determine who will represent Linden in the Regional play-off.
