CHARLESTOWN Secondary and Bishops’ High are the first two teams through to the quarter-finals of the Milo Schools Football tournament 2019.
In the first game of the day, Golden Grove opened the scoring with Simon Jones in the 15th and it looked to be heading the out-of-town side’s way.
However, a late surge from Charlestown ensured that they live to fight another day.
Tariq Pryce’s 77th minute strike brought the game level before Raymond Bandhu’s 80th minute goal ensured the win.
In the other match, Bishops’ High drubbed Cummings Lodge 5-2.
A pair of braces from Malachi Richards (17th and 81st) and Romeo Bradford (11th and 32nd) along with Antone Herod’s single strike in the 54th set the tone for the Georgetown side to move into the next round.
