LINDEN Technical Institute, Wisburg Secondary and New Silvercity Secondary all recorded opening wins as the New Era-organised ExxonMobil Linden under-18 Inter Secondary School football championship got underway at the Wisburg Secondary School ground on Friday afternoon.

In the first game, Linden Technical Institute eased to a polished 2-0 victory against Mackenzie High while the second game ended with a 3-2 win for Wisburg Secondary over Kwakwani Secondary and in the final game of the day, New Silvercity Secondary needled their way past Linden Foundation Secondary via a strike in the second period of play.

The goal came from a build-up on the left side and a fine finish by Latrell John four minutes into the second half.

No individual scores were available from the other matches played earlier.

The tournament continues today at the same venue, Wisburg Secondary School ground, in Linden.
