ExxonMobil U18 School Football: Chase’s Academic Foundation complete North Georgetown double
Chase’s Academic Foundation produced two clinical displays to sweep the boys’ and girls’ North Georgetown titles in the ExxonMobil Under-18 Football Championships on Saturday, recording matching 4-0 victories in both finals.
Emilla Barrett struck twice as the Chase’s girls side cruised past Marian Academy, with Esther Livan and Thea Rodrigues also finding the net.
The boys team were equally dominant against Queen’s College, sharing the goals between Dane Vancooten, Fabio Kowlessar, Jermaine Jobe and Brendan Parks to seal the double.
It was a weekend of clean sweeps across the country, as Abram Zuil Secondary and Bygeval Secondary also captured both titles in Regions Two and Five respectively.
In Region Two, Abram Zuil beat Charity Secondary in both showpieces. Akela Williams scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 triumph for the girls, before strikes from Justin Sewprashad and Marcanthony Obermuller handed the boys a 2-0 win.
Meanwhile, Bygeval Secondary overcame Mahaicony Secondary twice to rule Region Five.
A brace from Reyanna Duncan inspired Bygeval’s girls to a 2-1 victory—despite a reply from Mahaicony’s Wanita Daniels—while the boys also beat the same opponents.
Saturday’s action followed a dramatic set of finals in Regions One and Six on Friday, with both Region One deciders settled from the penalty spot.
Waramuri Secondary edged out North West Secondary 5-4 on penalties to lift the Region One girls’ trophy following a goalless draw in regulation time.
The boys’ final proved a six-goal thriller as Santa Rosa Secondary and Hosororo Secondary played out a 3-3 stalemate before Santa Rosa prevailed 3-1 in the shootout.
Jason John scored twice alongside Shaved Marks for the eventual champions, cancelling out a double from Delving Bailey and a strike from Valintoo Soloman for Hosororo.
In Region Six, Vryman’s Erven Secondary claimed the girls’ crown with a 2-1 win over New Amsterdam Secondary. Latoya Williams and Venicia Myers were on target for Vryman’s Erven, with Rasheena Moore netting New Amsterdam’s consolation.
New Amsterdam Secondary bounced back in the boys’ final, thrashing Tutorial Academy 4-1.
Domonique Rodrigues, Jeremiah Hawker, Enqi Leacock and Eon Williams all got on the scoresheet, while Deandre Hemerding replied for Tutorial.
Attention now turns to the national stage, with the tournament moving into the round of 16 across Regions Two, Three, Five and 10. (Modified Press Release)
