A DOUBLE from Omar Brewley (17th and 27th minutes), a 5th minute strike from Duquan Hercules and the dagger close to the regulation-time whistle were enough to guide three-time defending champions Christianburg/Wismar Secondary past rivals Waramadong Secondary on their way to play in the fifth consecutive Digicel Schools Football tournament. The Linden-based school will now face first-time finalists Chase Academy on Sunday at the Guyana National Stadium. The Kingston Georgetown school disposed of Annai Secondary by a 3-1

scoreline.
Watched by a capacity crowd at the Leonora Track & Field Facility last evening, the semi-final of the 5th Digicel Schools Football tournament was supposed to produce intense football but the victorious schools made the game look easy to set up what some say could be the best final on Sunday, August 2, at the Guyana National Stadium.
It was the second meeting between Waramadong and the school from Linden at the semi-final stage, dating back to the inaugural year (2011) with the two sides having a love story unlike any other in the tournament – two semi-final meetings and three finals encounter.
But this time around the team from Region 7 were no match for the boys from the Upper Demerara River.
Hercules opened the champions’ account when he buried one of his trademark free-kick, hitting it hard from about 30 yards out and it was too strong for the Waramadong keeper to hold on to.
The other two goals scored by Brewley came through build-ups and the tidy striker made good of his chances.
With a 3-0 lead at halftime, Multi, as they are more popularly known, could have extended their lead in the second stanza but squandered their easy goal chances and in some cases the Waramadong goalkeeper was quick to the task.
Waramadong did have a few chances of their own though.
A Waramadong player was brought down in the penalty area but the Christanburg/Wismar custodian made sure that the score remained the same.

Tevin Crawford timed the Waramadong player’s kick perfectly to pull off a beautiful save as his team held on to have a chance at winning the $1M first prize for their school.
Meanwhile the opening game, which many thought would have been a classic, turned out to be a one-sided game.
Annai Secondary’s Gravel Daniels sent the huge crowd into frenzy with his 3rd minute strike but Chase Academy rallied back like true champions.
Ryan Hackett equalised in the 30th minute hitting the shot that caused a defensive blunder by Annai and put his school 2-1 up.
Dapper forward Kelsey Benjamin terrorised Annai Secondary’s defence but was not successful. However, Jaleel Hamilton put the icing on the cake in the 85th minute to send Chase Academy to their first final.
