Linden Foundation Secondary School advanced to the second round of the Digicel Schools football tournament after securing a walk over from Mackenzie High School. Referee Kevin Stephens ruled a walkover after Mackenzie Secondary failed to field the seven players required to contest the match. Only six players turned up for the game which was scheduled for the Linden Technical Institution ground but was instead shifted to the Bayrock Ground, Wismar.
The six players who were all geared up, opted for a practice match against the Linden Foundation which was accommodated by the referees.
The round two match between Linden Foundation and Christianburg Secondary is scheduled for next Tuesday at the Linden Technical Institute Ground.
Meanwhile, despite the ground being waterlogged, Campbellville Secondary secured a 2-0 victory over North Ruimveldt at the Tucville Ground yesterday. Scoring for Campbellville was Keon David in the 20th and 67th minutes.

Robby Nicholas scored the first goal for St. George’s in the 27th minute followed by Azuma Smartt with the tie breaker in the 45th minute. The lone goal for North Georgetown was scored by Keon Douglas in the 41st minute.
Friendship Secondary inflicted a 8-1 drubbing on Camille’s Institute at the Grove Centre Ground. That match was scheduled for Monday, but was postponed because the Kuru Kuru ground was soggy which the referees ruled was unplayable.
The match between Queen’s College and David Rose Secondary was postponed because the GFC Ground, Bourda was still unplayable. That match will be played today at the Tucville Ground.
