KERRY JAMERSON Jr, son of former Strike Squad midfielder, Kerry Jamerson was the toast of Arima Boys’ RC School yesterday, netting an extra-time winner to secure a berth in the National Under-13 Primary Schools Football League final.
Julio Noel gave Arima Boys’ the lead with a first-minute goal against the 2001 and 2002 champion team, Vos Government Primary, at Guaracara Park, Point-a-Pierre.
But just before half-time, Vos got back on level terms setting the stage for an exciting final 30 minutes.
In the second-half, both teams failed to find the target and the match went into extra-time.
With only three minutes of the allotted 20 minutes extra-time left on the clock, Jamerson Jr netted the winner.
In the final next Thursday, Arima will meet the winner of today’s semi-final between Moruga Anglican School and 1994 winner, Carenage Government.
This match takes place at 10 am at Moruga.
The Arima Boys’ RC will also stage their 27th annual Six-a-Side competition at the Arima Municipal Stadium, today from 9 am.
At Stake will be a top prize of $550 and a trophy donated by Jadoo’s Book Store.
