By Paul-Andre Walker, Staff ReporterEXCELSIOR High's girls have been following the example of their champion Manning Cup schoolmates, as they demolished Wolmer's Girls' 4-0 in the ISSA/Captain's Bakery schoolgirls' football competition at Excelsior yesterday.
Jamila Pennie opened the scoring for Excelsior in the 26th minute, Keisha Ming got the second 10 minutes later, and on the stroke of half-time Christina Murray made it 3-0. Thirty minutes inside the second half Pennie found the back of the net once again to complete the rout.
GAME PLAN
"Our game plan was to come and knock the ball around, keep possession for long periods of time and see how we could spread out this Wolmer's team," were the words of winning coach, Xavier Gilbert.
"The girls just didn't follow instructions today, they didn't mark the players that we knew could hurt us if we let them," said an irate Wolmer's coach, Courtney Gaynor.
While upset at the loss Gaynor was cognisant of the need to move on.
"We have St. Hugh's next and if we can win that we'll still be in good shape," he said.
