KFC Goodwill School Football…

GUYANA and Trinidad & Tobago will clash in the final of the KFC School Goodwill Under-18 School Football tournament as Waramadong, formerly known as D.C.

Caesar Fox Secondary, will represent Guyana against Benedict’s College this evening at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.

Both sides progressed to the final after hard-fought, semi-final victories on Wednesday evening.

Waramadong continued their unbeaten run in the tournament with another fine display in soggy conditions to dispatch Christianburg/Wismar Secondary 2-0 in the second semi-final.

Deomar Henrito (33rd) and Bevon Jones (88th) were the men on target for Waramadong and they would certainly head into the final with high confidence given they defeated St. Benedict’s 2-0 in their final group match on Monday.

Meanwhile, St. Benedict’s came from behind to top Annai 2-1.

Annai had taken the lead in the 20th minute via Davey Jacobus and St. Benedict’s responded 19 minutes later with the equaliser from Jarrell Griffith. Raheem Nelson struck the winner in the 80th.

The third-place playoff between Annai and Christianburg is scheduled for 17:30hrs, with the final starting at 19:30hrs this evening.

Speaking at the press match presser, both camps expressed their aim is to go all the way to the title and, given the history between the two sides, it should prove to be a thrilling match.
