Chase Remains Unbeaten with One Round Left in Republic Bank U-18 Football League

November 25 2025

The chase for the 2025 Republic Bank Under-18 Secondary Schools Football League title tightened on Sunday as Round 6 wrapped up at the Ministry of Education ground. Once again, Chase’s Academic Foundation showed why they’re the team to beat, crushing bottom-ranked President’s College 10–0 to maintain a flawless six-match winning streak.

Captain Bryan Wharton was unstoppable, scoring a first-half hat-trick and finishing with five goals overall. Isaiah Ifill added two quick strikes, while Nyron Barrow, Shaquan David, and Darius Chester each scored after the break, pushing Chase to a perfect 18 points.

Charlestown Secondary also enjoyed success, defeating Three Mile Secondary 3–1 with early goals from Nicholas Neiuelder (a brace) and Dilshawn Alleyne. West Ruimveldt Secondary strengthened their hold on second place with a hard-fought 1–0 win over South Ruimveldt, thanks to a 38th-minute finish from Joel Griffith. That victory moves them to 15 points and within reach of qualification for the sixth Annual KFC Goodwill Series.

In the day’s final scheduled match, Dolphin Secondary earned a walkover after Abram Zuil Secondary failed to appear.

The league concludes this weekend with its seventh and final round, where the top two teams will advance to Petra’s KFC Yearend Tournament. The competition is supported by Republic Bank (Guyana) Limited, alongside Demerara Mutual, MVP Sports, Ronoca Concrete Inc., Guyana Beverage Inc. (Busta), the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, and facilitated by the Ministry of Education.
