In a commanding display of athletic prowess, Dominica State College secured their championship defense in the Sports Division Secondary Schools Football Championship with a decisive 3-0 victory over Castle Bruce Secondary School. The final match, held on March 13, 2026, at the DFA Technical Training Center in Stockfarm, culminated in a dominant performance despite an initially promising start from their opponents.
Castle Bruce Secondary opened with impressive offensive pressure, executing precise passing sequences and generating multiple scoring opportunities in the early minutes. However, their inability to convert these chances into goals proved costly as Dominica State College gradually established control over the match tempo.
The scoring breakthrough came through Turrie Christmas, who delivered a spectacular first-half free kick from just outside the 18-yard box that left Castle Bruce’s goalkeeper helpless. This opening goal visibly impacted Castle Bruce’s defensive confidence. Nathaniel Roberts extended the lead before halftime with an exceptional right-footed strike that found the top corner of the net.
Despite being reduced to 10 players in the second half following Roberts’ second yellow card offense, Dominica State College maintained their defensive discipline. Christmas sealed the victory with his second goal—a composed finish from within the six-yard box following defensive confusion from a corner kick. Castle Bruce’s attack failed to mount sufficient pressure in the final period, allowing Dominica State College to preserve their clean sheet and claim the championship trophy.
The victory marks Dominica State College’s successful title defense in the U20 Sports Division Secondary Schools Football competition, demonstrating both offensive excellence and resilient defensive capabilities under pressure.
