AFTER an enticing first day of matches in the 2019 edition of the KFC goodwill series, day two promises even more fireworks.
Today, from 13:00hrs, Lodge Secondary will play Waramadong Secondary, while at 15:00hrs, Shiva Boys Hindu College will play Annai Secondary.
On Saturday, both Annai and Lodge Secondary recorded wins by commanding margins over their respective opponents.
Annandale Secondary got the sharp end of the sword in a 9-1 drubbing at the hands of Region Nine’s Annai Secondary.
Controlling possession was not enough for the hinterland team as the passed at will.
Two goals from Junior Rodrigues (7th) and Italo Benjamin (24th) in the first half could have been enough to hand Annai the win but they were not done.
In the second half, Rodrigues and Benjamin completed their braces in the 64th and 54th respectively while Raul Swan (52nd) and Brimley Moses (78th) contributed one each.
Annai’s captain led from the front as he hammered a hat-trick (57th, 67th, 69th) against the lack lustre Annandale side.
Colin Henriques scored a consolation goal in the 72nd.
In the second fixture of the day, Marian Academy was able to put up a wall for a lengthy period of time but when the floodgates broke, Lodge slammed six goals to their one.
Dorwin George netted goals in the 25th and 30th with Earl Grant getting a goal in the 27th.
Marian’s Daniel Lowe netted on the resumption of the half, but that only made Lodge more vicious.
Curt Edwards (61st) and Shemroy Mayers (69th) contributed one a piece and George completed his hat- trick in the 69th for the 6-1 victory.
President of the Guyana Football Federation, Wayne Forde, opened the event by saying,
“I want to ask each and every one of the players that are here to ensure their conduct on and off the field is good.
