Old Fort and the National Under-21 selection battled to a nil-all stalemate on Wednesday, at the GCC ground, Bourda in the penultimate match of the 2014 season. While pool leaders GCC with 12 points remain out of reach of all opposition, bragging rights remain as the National Under-21, which has been improving as the tournament progressed, has been putting pressure on their senior clubs.
Old Fort began the match with a depleted side as some team members were late for the start.  While the Under-21 made several raids through the midfield, defensive stalwart Dwight Sullivan and former international Ivor Thompson stifled their attacks, before any real threat on the Old Fort net.
The arrival of Aderemi ‘Dove’ Simon for Old Fort brought new life to the team and Dove wasted no time in making his presence felt. Mid-way through the first half, Simon made a fine solo run from the left across the under-21 scoring circle only to be brought down by the under-21 deep defence earning his side a penalty stroke.
Simon’s heroics were short-lived, however, as he failed to convert the stroke which was easily batted away by competent goalkeeper Medroy Scotland. While Mark Sargeant and Leon Bacchus put in a solid midfield performance for the under-21, their efforts were matched by Simon and Jason DeSantos of Old Fort.
Despite several close shaves, the match ended in a nil-all draw as both teams received a point each for their efforts. GCC will oppose the national under-21 today from 16:45 hrs at the same venue in the final match to conclude the 2014 season.
GCC have played unbeaten throughout the tournament, dropping points to the under-21 in their first round clash which ended in a draw.  In their previous encounter, the under-21 had surprised the veteran Bourda selection with two early goals, before GCC clawed their way back to a 2-2 draw.
