In what can only be described as the greatest comeback in the history of the Digicel Schools Football Championship, Carmel Secondary overcame DC Caesar Fox 3-2 on penalty kicks in their semi-final encounter at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue last evening to earn a place in Sunday’s final.
The magnitude of Carmel’s victory, which was witnessed by a large crowd that featured luminaries from the Ministry of Education, Digicel, the Ministry of Culture Youth, and Sport and the National Sports Commission, cannot be understated, as the Smyth Street outfit overcame a 0-3 halftime deficit, a 2-4 second half discrepancy and 4-5 extra time deficiency to force the penalty kicks after full time ended 5-5.
