DEFENDING Girls Pee Wee Champions Marian Academy continued their fine form against Smith Memorial Primary at the Ministry of Education Ground, as the tournament completed its quarter final stage on Saturday.
Marian Academy cruised to a 5-nil victory on the back of Chrissyanne Persaud, who was in superb touch in the first half of the game to guide her side to a 2-nil lead at the break.

She returned to complete the hat-trick as Marian imposed their will on the encounter with remarkable positional ball for their age group.
Marian’s Haley Haberkorn and Haley De Nobrega drove the final two nails in the coffin in the dying minutes to secure their semi-final place, and two wins short of a successful title defence.

St. John the Baptist Primary also showed resilience and character to bounce back in the fifth minute to serve up the equalizer, compliments of Akeelah DaSilva.
However, second-half goals from Elliana Grant and Tanis Callender in the 30th and 35th minute would all but seal the contest, as St. John the Baptist picked up the victory, 3-1.

Reniese Joseph was unsung with her footwork’s as she registered a triple with successful strikes in the 2nd, 22nd and 33rd minutes as they took an unassailable lead in the match before Aria Khan capped off the victory with her 37th-minute goal.

Waramuri Primary concluded the day’s action with a 5-nil drubbing of Genesis Primary.
Waramuri Primary had Keshanna Thomas and Alina Lewis to thank for their victory, as the pair accounted for all five goals.
