– Golden Grove take third place

Linden’s Christianburg /Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) are the champions of the MILO Schools football tournament following a 3-1 win over North Ruimveldt on Sunday evening.
Played under lights at the Ministry of Education ground, the Linden-based side were ruthless in their quest to the trophy, netting thrice to overcome the opposition.

The first goal came off Ryan Arthur in the 40th minute as the Linden-based side closed the half with a slim advantage over their Georgetown-based opponents.
On the return to the second half, both teams traded run-downs for the first fifteen minutes before Yannick Norton brought the game back level in the 61st.

This intensified the push for North Ruimveldt to get the go ahead goal as to them, a come-from -behind victory seemed possible.
They were however stopped in their tracks by Jamil James in the 75th minute; Linden again taking the lead which would stretch them almost to the finish before Omarian Ramsammy’s 90+1 minute goal.

The third place playoff was a keenly contested affair with only one goal off the boot of Kelvin Richardson (10th minute) giving Golden Grove the edge.
In attendance was the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) president Wayne Forde, as well as the Assistant Director of Sport, Melissa Dow-Richardson, both presenting prizes at the end of the evening.
