Action between Mackenzie High School (red) and Wisburg Secondary in the Digicel Schools Football Championship at the Wisburg School ground

Vergenoegen Secondary overcame Leonora Secondary 4-3 on sudden death penalty kicks after normal time ended 0-0 when the sixth annual Digicel Secondary Schools Football Championships continued yesterday at the Leonora Sports Facility.

In front of a sizeable crowd of mostly students, the home side got off to the worst possible start as they were denied by the diving custodian to his left when the shootout commenced.

However, Vergenoegen failed to capitalise on their opponent’s failure as they also missed from the distance compliments of a brilliant save by the goalkeeper to his left.
