‘Screw’ Richmond memorial … Defending Champions ‘Multi’ down Harmony Secondary 10 – 0 on opening day

Defending champions Christianburg Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) started their quest for a fourth title in style, after hammering Harmony Secondary School 10 – 0 when the annual Edward ‘Screw’ Richmond Memorial football tournament got on the way in Linden.

Amar Jones led the school popularly known as ‘Multi’ with a hat-trick, scoring in the 38^th, 87^th, and 89^th minutes while Antwaine Gill finished the afternoon netting a double (60^th and 69^th minute).

Shaquille Campbell (13^th), Ezekiel Clarke (50^th), Keyshawn Dey (76^th), Brian Joseph (79^th) and Javier Smith (90^th) scored a goal each to round off the winner’s tally.

Considered the best football playing school in Guyana, the Christianburg-based school will chase their second win on Tuesday April 12 when they come up against rivals News Silvercity Secondary at the Wisburg Secondary School Ground from 14:45 hours.

Meanwhile, the second encounter saw a much tighter affair with a solitary strike being the difference maker between two talented squads, as the Linden Technical Institute squeezed past Linden Foundation Secondary.

The two teams battled to a goalless first half but Coby Bourne  scored what turned out to be the game winner in the 50^th minute to hand the Linden Technical Institute the win.

Wisburg School ground played host to the final four teams that make up the eight participating schools in this 8^th edition of the tournament, as play continued yesterday (April 7) with two exciting matches.

The first game saw hearts being broken as one team overturned a two-goal deficit and grind out a win.  Emanuel Atkins had given New Silvercity Secondary a 2 – 0 lead with his goals in the 23rd and 27th minutes, but Mackenzie High School rebounded bounced back to win 3 – 2.

Akieme Chapman’s brace (24th and 56th) and Joel Isaacs single strike was enough to see Wisburg Secondary past Marcia Craig’s Educational Institute 3 – 0.

Mackenzie High School will look to continue their good showing when they play Harmony Secondary in the day’s opening game next Tuesday.
