Waramuri into both finals
–Girls to play President’s College; Boys to face Bartica

REGION One’s Waramuri Top are into both finals of the 2023 ExxonMobil boys and girls U-14 schools football tournament after yesterday’s semi-finals.

The out-of-town side has disposed of all their competition thus far, and made light work of semi-finalists Bartica, 3-1.

Jada La Cruz’s double (4th and 6th minute), along with Mnemosyne Peters 32nd minute strike ensured that the Region One (Barima-Waini) side will have its first shot at the female title.

It took a Kimona Edwards double to ensure that President’s College was the other team in the Finals of the girls’ division.

Her 1st and 15th minute strikes ensured that come June 17, they have a shot at the title.

Meanwhile, in other matches of the day, Marian Academy 2 beat Ann’s Grove 1, thanks to Kaitlyn La Rose (19th) and Kaegh Todd (27th), while Anns Grove had Glenise Tony (31st) on target.

New Central were also winners on the day, through two goals from Aaliyah De Freitas (54th and 60th).

On the boys’ end of things, both games went down to penalties.

A goal-less stalemate between Bartica and Bush Lot meant that penalties were the order of the day, with the Bartica side advancing 4-3.

New Central and Waramuri were able to get goals off of Trevor Gordon (36th) and Bradley Williams (22nd), respectively, but at the end of regulation, there was nothing to separate them.

It took sudden-death penalties to separate the two sides, and when the dust settled, it was Waramuri that came out on top.

Meanwhile, CWSS beat Chase Academy, 4-2, thanks to goals from Zidanne Benn (2nd), Travis Cooke (5th), Pharez Noble (7th) and Jaden Damon (18th).

Chase had Tyrell Walcott (26th), and Danny Yaw (33rd) on target.

Westminster also beat Patentia, 4-0, thanks to goals from Michael Singh (17th, 30th and 38th), and Jamal Anthony (47th).
