REGION 7 will be represented at the Digicel National Schools Football Championship playoffs by DC Caesar Fox Secondary after they mauled Three Miles Secondary 5-0 in Bartica yesterday.The team, formerly known as Waramadong Secondary utilised the skill and composure of their players to emerge unchallenged as the Region 7 champions.
From the whistle, the Caesar Fox side looked the more technically sound side, utilising the compactness and dexterity of the midfield to pass plays into the Three Miles box.

DC Caesar Fox Secondary register their fourth goal on the way to winning the Region 7 final of the Digicel National Schools Football championship. against Three Miles Secondary.

It was inevitable that they would score first as a set piece which flew across the goalkeeper was tapped in by Ashton Ward in the 7th minute.
There was no shortage of chances as the DC side continued to press on, but they were oftentimes the victims of surprise attacks which were mostly long balls over the midfield into wide positions. However, the attacks fizzled out on most occasions.
A few more close encounters, for the game leaders, one hitting the post and a few nostalgic saves from the Three Miles keeper ensured that the score ended as it did; though at the opposing end, his counterparts from Waramadong had an albeit easier task.
On the return from the break, Reon McNaughton in the 53rd minute tucked the goalkeeper’s parry into the net. The defenders stood rooted to the box, as the keeper made an impressive save to deny the initial shot, a curling effort from 25 yards out on the right flank.
The third goal and perhaps the one that sealed the deal was a free kick from 25 yards out on the right of the goal that soared past the keeper and soared into the left hand corner of the net from Collin Edwards in the 55th.
Goal number four came just after through a dink pass chipped over the head of the two Three Miles Secondary centre-backs which landed in the path of a charging Whitaker Paul in the 84th who completed the goal by finessing it into the right corner.
The final goal of the evening came on the stroke of the game’s end and was through a Frank Francis free kick from 30 yards out on the left side of the goal, which curled sweetly into the top left corner of the goal.
The DC Caesar Fox Secondary now move on to play Region Two champions Charity Secondary on July 20. The winners of that match will move on to the quarter-finals of the tournament.
