Dixon hunts all titles for Clarendon
November 24, 2023
Wily forward Keheim Dixon was a thorn in the flesh of St George's defence on Tuesday in the Champions Cup and scored his 25th of the schoolboy football season, helping Clarendon College to defeat many-time Manning Cup champions St George's College 3-1.
Dixon's penetrative runs at the National Stadium posed constant problems for St George's rearguard as Clarendon progressed to the semi-finals with Dixon stating that they are on a quest to claim all possible titles.
These are the daCosta Cup, Champions Cup and Olivier Shield, but Dixon downplayed their confidence, although pundits believe Clarendon are out of class this season and favoured to sweep.
"We would like to take all three titles, but we are taking it one match at a time. We can't jump and think all three are ours," Dixon told STAR Sports.
Last season, Clarendon were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions Cup by Kingston College, whose Chelsea-bound star Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards scored four goals.
However, Dixon, who converted an exquisite scissors kick in that game, said they are highly motivated to reclaim the Champions Cup trophy, which they claimed two seasons ago.
"We have a hundred per cent motivation to win back this title, but as I said, it's one game at a time," he emphasised.
Dixon, who had 17 goals last term and was Clarendon College's top scorer, has 16 assists this season. This is in addition to his 25 goals.
He said their come-from-behind victory over St George's showed their pedigree, and he hopes his good form continues and leads them to the titles.
"It's an overwhelming feeling coming back from 1-0 down to a big St George's College team. It's an overwhelming feeling.
"I am feeling good. Last year, I ended the competition with 17 goals, and this year I am at 25, so it has been great. I am looking to play my part one hundred per cent, but that is what I am here for, to contribute to my team," he said.
