MILO school championship 2024 finals…

CHASE Academy will have a chance to reclaim their Milo Schools Football U18 championship title on Sunday after a 4-nil thrashing of President College at the Ministry of Education Ground on Thursday.

Chase’s marksman Bryan Wharton gave his side the lead in the 15th minute of play before the ever-dependable Justin Alcindor came to the fore in the 19th minute to double the lead.
President’s College would step up their defence despite Chase’s Academy relentless pursuit to add to their tally, and the game went into the half with the champions leading 2-nil.
The second half saw Omar Sam coming to the goal scoring party with his successful strike in the 79th minute of play before Shaquan David made it 4-nil a minute later as the Chase offence overwhelmed their east coast opponents for the victory.

Meanwhile, in the day’s second semifinals featuring Waramuri and Dolphin Secondary, Ezekiel David got things going in the 3rd minute of play for the city side.
Candel Hazel added his name to the scoresheet in the 11th, Dolphin was up 2-nil at the half way mark.

However, the second half was another story, as Waramuri settled down to turn the contest on its head with goals from Zundel Abrams and Odell Holmes in the 46th and 62nd minutes
At regulation the scores still read 2-2 forcing extra time which again failed to separate the two sides.

In the ensuing penalty shoot-out Waramuri would prove the calmer heads winning 4-3 and earning their place in the final booked for Sunday at the CARFESTA avenue ground.
This year’s competition fielded teams from Regions One, Four, Seven, Nine and 10 with 48 schools in total competing over several weeks of action at the Queens College and Ministry of Education grounds.

The eventual winning school is set to pocket $300,000 towards a project of their choice with half that amount going to the second-place finishers and $75,000 for third place.
The final will also see individual awards to the top goal scorer, best goal keeper and Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
