IN what is unprecedented, Charlestown Secondary won both the Boys and Girls titles at the ExxonMobil Under-14 School’s Football tournament which concluded on Saturday at the Ministry of Education Ground, Carifesta Avenue.

In the Boys’ final, Charlestown snatched a 3-2 victory via penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation and extra time against Ann’s Grove Secondary, while in the Girls final, they prevailed 2-1 over East Ruimveldt Secondary.

For the Boys, Malcolm Hendricks gave Charlestown the lead in the 15th minute but Ann’s Grove equalized through Selwyn Fraser five minutes later, and the battle continued until penalty kicks were needed.

Over in the Girls’ final, Hadassah Smith and Chelsyi Lupe gave Charlestown a comfortable 2-0 lead until a late consolation goal from Azari Wilson of East Ruimveldt narrowed the lead.

The winning purse for both categories was $300,000, which will go towards a project at the school, while second place received half that amount.

Meanwhile, in the third place games, 2019 champs, Cummings Lodge, defeated West Ruimveldt 4-2 in the Boys division, and New Campbellville Secondary prevailed 3-0 on penalty kicks against New Central.

The tournament was co-ordinated by the Petra Organisation with support from Demerara Distillers Limited through their Pepsi brand.
