George Town shares spoils with Cayman International

(CUC-PFL): Saturday’s action between George Town Primary and Cayman International School (CIS) at the Annex Field nearly produced two four-goal heroes. In the Under 9 matchup, CIS’ Jonathan Rado notched three goals as he guided his team to victory over a lively George Town Primary team who kept battling on until the final whistle. The young CIS striker nearly made it four but missed a penalty in the second half as his team emerged 3-0 winners. On the other side of the ball, George Town’s energetic young forward Isaac Ebanks was a constant menace to the CIS rear-guard but could not find the back of the net.

In the Under 11 game, George Town’s talented midfielder Joshua O’Garro scored four goals as George Town Primary concluded the morning’s activities with a 4-0 win over the Under 11s from CIS.

George Town Primary stamped their authority early on in the game as Joshua O’Garro went a few customary “mazey” runs only to be stopped in his tracks by CIS skipper Francisco Magno and his troops. With his younger brother Micah orchestrating George Town’s backline, Joshua was free to go forward and go forward he did. Not surprisingly, in the 24th minute, he finally found the back of the net and led his team into half time 1-0 up.

The second half began much like the first half had ended as George Town Primary pushed forward for more goals. In the 45th minute, Joshua was upended in the box and converted the penalty to make it 2-0. With fatigue setting in for a majority of the CIS players, young O’Garro took advantage and netted his team’s third in the 49th minute and his and his team’s fourth of the day in the 57th minute.

Other results from Group A were Savannah Primary 2 vs. Truth For Youth 2 (Under 9); Savannah Primary 4 vs. Truth For Youth 0 (Under 11); and Sir John A. Cumber Primary 4 vs. Grace Academy 1 (Under 11). In Group B it was Prospect Primary 1 vs. South Sound Schools 5 (Under 9); Prospect Primary 2 vs. South Sound Schools 1 (Under 11); NorthEast Schools 0 vs. Cayman Prep 4 (Under 9); NorthEast Schools 0 vs. Cayman Prep 4 (Under 11); Red Bay Primary 11 vs. Cayman Brac 0 (Under 11); and Bodden Town Primary 5 vs. Triple C 1 (Under 9).
