IN the opening game at the Ministry of Education ground, the Petra-organised Digicel Schools Football tournament round-of-32, West Demerara Secondary were made to endure a sound thrashing at the heads and feet of the DC Caesar Fox Secondary, conceding 18 goals without reply.

Forward Bevon Jones was especially ruthless in front of goal, making the West Demerara defenders look like training cones at times. He alone slammed in 10 goals, scoring with both feet and headers as well.

It was one-way traffic from the opening to the final whistle. Jones started the party in the fifth minute, and never looked back. The other nine goals from Jones came in the 20th, 26th, 37th, 43rd, 55th, 70th, 77th and 89th minutes, respectively.

The other goal scorers were Carrington Isaacs, who notched up five goals, while Bruce Williams claimed a brace, with West Demerara conceding a late-own goal.
Currently, the KFC Schools Football champions, the DC Caesar Fox outfit, showed their pedigree, and were merciless.

Attack after attack, goal after goal, the gathering of fans was treated to an offensive masterclass, and left satisfied with their team’s display.

Earmarked as one of the tournament’s favourites, DC Fox Caesar moves on to the round of 16, one step closer to putting their hands on the coveted trophy. As part of their progression, special round of 16 kits were handed over. The round of 16 will be played on Wednesday (Aug 2) and Thursday (Aug 3).
