LINDEN’S Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School and Lodge Secondary have secured the final two spots in the ongoing MILO schools Football tournament.

Following the final two quarter-final games at the Ministry of Education ground yesterday, the two teams had contrasting pathways to the next round.
In the opening game, the Linden side was eager to show its worth against the West Coast Demerara side, Vergenoegen.

The West Dem side wasted no time in showing their plans, getting a number of shots off within the first 15 minutes.
However, it was CWSS, in the 18th minute, who scored the first goal– a curling free-kick just over 30 yards out which went over the wall and the Vergenogen keeper, nestling into the corner of the net.

Vergenoegen were not about to take the game sitting down and a constant attack on the Linden side would finally yield the result they wanted when a counter-attack caught the linden keeper off his line in the 35th.

Tyrese Lewis, three minutes later, restored the Linden side’s lead and the half ended that way.

Two more goals by Lewis in the second half (70th and 72nd) ensured the Linden side cruised through to the next round.

In the second game of the day, St Johns College could not overcome the one-goal advantage that Lodge Secondary had instituted in the 17th minute through Dorwin George.
Meanwhile, in the semi-final lineup, CWSS will meet Annandale Secondary while President’s College plays Lodge Secondary next weekend.
