Dolphin beat Exlcelsior to take Georgetown final

DOLPHIN Secondary are winners of the Georgetown leg of the DIGICEL schools football tournament, following the final on Wednesday at the Ministry of Education Ground.

Their opponents, Excelsior, took an early lead in the match, through Albert Adams in the 2nd minute, which left many at the Ministry of Education Ground stunned.

Almost immediately, Dolphin were placed on the back foot, and had to fight their way back to an even keel, and in the 31st minute, thanks to Jequan Cole, things were level.

The half-time whistle sounded with both teams looking for the ‘go-ahead’ goal, but neither got the result they required.

However, on the return of the second Gerry Burnette (46th) minute thrust Dolphin into the lead of the game for the first time, much to the delight of the fans.

Try as they might, Excelsior could not find the comeback, despite getting close on many occasions, leaving them no alternative but to resignedly settle for second in the Georgetown district.

Meanwhile, in the third-place playoff, West Ruimveldt Secondary beat Charlestown Secondary, 2-1, with goals coming from Donovan Welcome and Jos Sharples, while Charlestown had Elijah Marcus on target.

The Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) final wraps up today, with Bartica Secondary taking on D.C Caesar Fox Secondary (Waramadong) at the same venue from 17:30hrs.
