President’s College, Annandale record contrasting quarter-finals wins
ANNANDALE Secondary and President’s College are the first two teams through to the semi-finals of the 2019 MILO Schools Football tournament.
The two teams had contrasting paths to the next round when the first two quarter-finals were played at the Ministry of Education ground on Carifesta Avenue yesterday.
In the opening game, Annandale railroaded their Charlestown opponents 4-0.
A lethargic opening 45 minutes from the East Coast side saw them end the half 1-0, thanks to Collin Hendricks in the 32nd minute.
On the resumption, the East Coast side had two close chances, which, after goal-line scuffles, were pushed into the uprights.
However, they extended the lead to two, through Omari Glasgow in the 50th minute and another in the 59th.
That third goal broke the hearts of the Georgetown-based support side and Jemar Harrigon’s 90+1 minute goal only solidified the results
In the second game of the day, President’s College continued the East Coast’s dominance on the day, inching past Bishops’ High 2-1.
Jesse Thomas’ 41st minute goal was cancelled out in the same minute by Bishops’ Malachi Richards as the two battled for the second semi-final spot.
While both teams had several chances, it was Edron Stephens’ 56th minute goal that took PC ahead and until the final whistle.
Today, tournament favourites Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) will play Vergenoegen Secondary in the first match, before Lodge Secondary face St John’s College at 15:00hrs.
