FOOTBALL

School Fights off English scare

A visiting Dunnington and Caribbean Football team out of Yorkshire in England engaged the third place winners in the recently concluded local Football league, Combined Schools, last evening.

The school team commenced the game a little flat footed as apparently they had been told that the game was set to commence at 7pm. However the visitors were rearing to go from about 5.30 p, right after the conclusion of a Cricket match played earlier. The schoolboys started without trusted goalie Jurnel Turner and within the first five minutes of the game, the Englishmen found the back of the net after a superb series of passes culminated with a bomber to the far corner of the goal.
Not long after, with Jurnel Turner in goal, the young goalie aggressively tried to intercept one of the opposing forwards and was left flat footed as the ball sailed past him to the back of the net.

With the school boys down 2 goals to nil, some spectators were already predicting a 10 to nil in favour of the visitors and there was already some aggression being shown by players on both sides as they pushed, tugged and shoved each other in the attempt to gain control of the game.

However, the school boys rebounded as the visitors appeared to tire and found the back of the net four times.

Final score: Combined Schools 4 Dunnington/Caribbean 3.
