BISHOPS’ High School continued their winning streak in this year’s edition of the Digicel National Schools Football Championships when they whipped Tutorial High School 3-1 at the Guyana Defence Force ground, Camp Ayanganna.The Carmichael Street-based institution looked the better of the two sides from the outset with more skilful midfield plays and the utilisation of the wings.

Goals came as early as the 18th minute when a fumble by the goalkeeper resulted in his spilling the ball which fell to the feet of Tyrese Souvenir who made no mistake in putting away the ball.
The Bishops’ attack continued to hammer the Tutorial defence, making full use of the wingers when they needed to and were rewarded with a second goal, this time off the boot of Darin Chan, just four minutes later.
The side continued to press the Tutorial defence until the end of the half. Tutorial were no slouches in attack but were unfortunate as their attackers were caught several times in the offside area.
They were rewarded in the 34th when Kareem Duncan latched onto a loose ball in the area to convert. Several chances were shared on each side but no one was able to convert for the remainder of the half.
Upon resumption, Bishops’, however, dominated the attacks and scored their third and final goal in the 74th minute when a Tutorial defender was bodied off the ball by Areeb Rodney who slotted past the keeper.
It seemed destined to happen at one time or another as the Tutorial defence shied away from using power clearances.
Matches continue today with the final of the Region 8 competition which will feature Paramakatoi and Mahdia at Mahdia.
