–East Ruimveldt records latest win

CHASE Academic Foundation went down 4-0 to East Ruimveldt Secondary School in a dramatic match last Friday afternoon in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)/ Blue Water U15 girls’ development league.

East Ruimveldt dominated the game contested at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground.

The winning team’s striker, Dellanna Small, said she was happy with the final score because her team trained hard over a short period to prepare for the league. She scored three goals, while her teammate Fayon Harry scored the 4th, cementing their school’s victory.

“The game was very good. We put in a lot of work and I’m glad that we came out on top,” Small shared.

Her coach, Colin Tasher, added that the fixture was his team’s first competitive game after a break and limited practice sessions due to inclement weather, but he is happy with the victory.

“They didn’t play to their potential, but they will get better as the time goes along. I’m very excited.”

The second match between Charlestown Secondary School and Lodge Secondary School ended in a 0-0 draw.

This league was launched in Georgetown in May 2022, and in Linden in February 2023. The aim of the league is to increase the number of young girls playing football, identify new talent, raise the profile of female football and provide coaches with more hours to work with young female footballers. The league is being played as a national school competition across all school districts and is being supported by the Ministry of Education.
