Skeldon High inflict 9-0 thrashing on CCSS

By Colin Bynoe
SKELDON High inflicted a crushing 9-0 defeat on Central Corentyne Secondary School (CCSS) as action in this year’s DIGICEL nationwide schools football championship resumed on Wednesday at Burnham Park.
The championship took a two-week break, as coordinator of the championship Mr Peters rescheduled matches due to the inclement weather and other factors.
Play in the lone encounter for the day brought together CCSS and a starting seven-man Skeldon High.

The lads from Upper Corentyne went on a goal-scoring frenzy – goals coming at regular intervals. Early goals from Javon Angel in the 6th minute and Lester Reynolds in the 14th minute gave Skeldon High full control of the match from the beginning.
It suddenly became a one-sided affair when two late goals came off the boot of Mark Matthews in the 20th minute and Oswald Gewan in the 36th to close off the first half. The score read 4-0 at the halfway stage in favour of Skeldon High.

The final period was a riot as a nine-man Skeldon High hit home five more goals, three of which came from Steiner Peneus in the 38th, 44th and 60th minutes, which secured a lop-sided win to propel them to the other round.
The championship resumes today at Burnham Park.
Winifred Gaskin battle Corentyne Comprehensive High at 15:30hrs.
