Republic Bank U-18 Schools Football
The fifth edition of the Petra Organisation’s U-18 Schools Football League kicked off yesterday at the Ministry of Education Ground, Carifesta Avenue, as defending champion Chase Academy as well as Bartica and Waramuri recorded wins.
In the opening encounter of the day, Bartica Secondary dismantled East Ruimveldt Secondary 5-1, with Billy Smith netting a hat-trick. In fact, Smith opened his account just eight minutes into the first half with arguably the goal of the day.
He thundered a shot from just above the halfway line, which beat the East Ruimveldt keeper, who was guilty of not moving enough. Smith would strike twice more, netting in the 24th and 35th minutes respectively to complete his haul.
