– Matches set for today, tomorrow

THINGS are heating up as the MILO Schools football tournament continued on Thursday afternoon at the Ministry of Education Ground.

In that double header, there were wins of differing paths for Golden Grove and Dolphin Secondary; a penalty shootout decided Golden Grove’s fate and a one sided slober-knocker sending Dolphin through.

In the opening contest, Buxton did well to erase a two goal deficit but in the end could not secure their penalties to move onto the next round.

On target for the eventual winners were Kellon Croal (29 and 34) and Shamar Walton (48) while for Buxton, Omari Edwards (23), Ovid Brown (58) and Akandy Vanmalson (50) were the scorers

Dolphin had a much easier time against Charlestown, winning 5-1.

Brian Burnette (15th) along with braces from Gerry Bernette (47th and 64th) and Jaquan Cole (32nd and 40th) were the marksmen while Mickelle Andrews (58th) scored for Charlestown
