Courts Optical Pee Wee U11 football competition…

SUNDAY at the Ministry of Education ground saw some major upsets as defending champion St Pius, former champions Enterprise and West Ruimveldt were all dumped out of the competition.

West Ruimveldt Primary going in as favourites against interior side Santa Rosa Primary faltered 1-0.

It was a scorcher of a match-up as the two sides battled hard but I the end, it was a Deon Henry’s goal that broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute to give Santa Rosa the lead.

The battled dragged on with West Ruimveldt looking for an equaliser but to no avail.

St John the Baptist Primary who have been prolific with double- digit wins found their kryptonite when they faced off with Belladrum Primary.

Belladrum Primary hit the back of the net in the low-scoring affair with a 32nd minute strike from Jadon Sampson, then parked the bus and held on to the narrow victory 1-0.

Former winner Enterprise Primary were unable to overcome consistent upstarts Marian Academy, who clinched a 2-1 victory.

Enterprise, led by Dontay Kowlessar tried to secure the victory but could not mount a sufficiently successful comeback.

Joshua Johnson put Marian Academy ahead just after the opening whistle 20 minutes into the clash before Kowlessar delivered for his side with the equaliser in the 20th.

However, Joshua Johnson came back to register a double with his second in the 29th minute and there was no further addition to the scoreline as ever-improving Marian Academy took the victory.

The biggest winner on the day was Berbice’s Rosignol Primary that axed defending champions St Pius 4-0.
Rosignol Primary’s Timothy Rouse needed a minute to hit the back of the net before Abdul Kadir came to the party with a double in the 8th and 18th minutes to extend before a Jeremiah Mc Donald strike in the 39th capped off the victory.

The semifinal is set for October 26 at the CARFESTA Avenue Ground.
