Lawrence T. Gay and St Gabriel’s both registered convincing victories when the second round of the National Sports Council BICO Primary Schools Football Competition continued yesterday.

Playing at the National Stadium, Lawerence T. Gay blitzed Milton Lynch 3-0 in a one-sided affair thanks to a brilliant performance from striker Aneko Greenidge.

Greenidge scored two goals to put his side in control of the match, before turning supplier, as Jalen Jones-Cox’s goal helped to complete the rout.

Playing on the right flank, Greenidge picked out Jones-Cox with a perfectly floated cross into the penalty area, which he calmly controlled and then easily slotted past Milton Lynch’s keeper.

In the second game, former champions, St Gabriel’s, were also comfortable winners, thrashing Ellerton 4-0.

Dominic Dent put them in front from as early as the fifth minute when he blasted home a left-foot shot from inside the six-yard box.

He made it 2-0 two minutes after half-time before Asher Jean Pierre joined in on the action, slotting home from close range after Ellerton’s keeper had deflected the ball in his path.

Sam Alkins then added the finishing touch, heading into an empty net after Ellerton failed to clear a St Gabriel’s free kick. (RB)
