North Ruimveldt, CWSS clash today for MILO trophy
THE stage is set for the final of the finals of the MILO Schools Football tournament, today at the Ministry of Education ground.
Today’s highly anticipated final, a battle of the Multis between Linden’s Christianburg Wismar Secondary School and Georgetown’s North Ruimveldt will be a keenly contested battle.
And both teams in yesterday’s pre-game press conference preferred to leave their talking to the minimum and let their feet do the work today.
CWSS captain Omarian Ramsammy contended that his team must “come out and play hard to win”.
North Ruimveldt’s Yannick Norton was also brief in his assessment, only offering a “May the best team win,” he commented.
The coaches on the other hand were vocal, yet guarded, about their plans to pin down the opposition.
Jeremy Garrett, coach of the Georgetown-based side said, “CWSS is a very good team but for us, it’s to focus and the guys to come out and execute and if they do that they can defeat the opponents. At the end of the day football is on the day.”
A similar sentiment was shared by CWSS coach Delon Peters who stated, “In order to do that (win) their execution needs to be on point. If they do what is told to them and what has been practised previously, the general expectation is to win.”
At the end of the game, Petra co-director Troy Mendonca believes that both teams should consider themselves winners.
“We had a very challenging tournament. Nevertheless, these two teams deserve to be in the final and may the better team win.”
Today’s 18:00hrs final will be preceded by the third-place playoff between Grove Secondary and Dolphin Secondary at 16:00hrs.
