Also registering wins on the same day were Berbice School of Excellence (BSoE) and Rosignol Secondary in their engagements, at the Paradise ground, West Coast Berbice.
Over at Burnham Park, Berbice Educational Institute led by a 63rd minute strike from Kelly Amsterdam squeezed past Berbice High 1-0.
In the other fixture, Canje Secondary cruised to a comfortable 5-1 triumph over New Amsterdam Secondary with Tyrese Williams netting a brace in the 29th and 63rd minutes, while Alade Grant, Elond White and Akeem Moses-Bovell, all contributed a goal apiece in the 40th, 66th and 69th minutes respectively.
For New Amsterdam Secondary, an own in the 40th minute was responsible for their account.
At the Paradise ground, Berbice School of Excellence scraped past Fort Wellington Secondary 2-1 despite playing with only seven players.
Tarone Pompey opened Berbice School of Excellence’s account when he netted in the 13th minute, before Anthony Alexander’s 32nd minute strike gave them a 2-0 advantage which they took to the break.
Ziekel Johnson pulled one back for Fort Wellington in the 55th minute, but robust defending by their opponents put paid to their ambitions of drawing level and when the final whistle sounded Berbice School of Excellence had preserved their slim lead to secure a win.
