South Ruimveldt Secondary’s Keith Caines (no.10) in the process of scoring one of his four goals during his side’s 9-1 victory over Christ Church Secondary.

South Ruimveldt Secondary walloped Christ Church Secondary by a 9-1 margin when the fourth annual Digicel national u-18 knockout football championship continued at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue yesterday.

Xavier Scott opened the scoring for the South Ruimveldt unit in the eighth minute, lashing his effort from the centre of the box, into the lower left-hand corner of the goal, after latching onto a poorly cleared ball by the defender.

Keith Caines would double their lead two minutes later with a left-footed strike into the lower right side of the goal, after evading his marker within the right side of the box following a left-sided through pass.

It would become 3-0 in the 24th minute as Scott sealed his brace, slotting home his right-footed strike down the centre of the net, from within the middle of the box, after collecting a flat right-sided Caines cross.

The score line would increase once more one minute later as Caines grabbed his brace through a right-footed shot down the middle of the goal, from within the 18-yard box.

The lopsided encounter would continue as Abdul Edwards added his name to the scorer’s sheet in the 38th minute,
