By Franklin Wilson
Competitive football made a welcome return to the Bartica Community Centre ground on Saturday last when play in the Bartica Football Association inter-zone competition got underway. North Zone signaled their intentions of taking home the top prize by recording wins over Riverain and Central to date.
Action in the Greater Bartica/South clash on Sunday at the Bartica Community Centre ground.

During the goal assault, Riverain were able to tuck in another goal through Andel Norton (74).
On Monday, North were in winners row again, defeating Central 3-1.
The players on target were Hamley Martindale (5th), Devon Elias (26th) and Christopher Jones (65th). Central’s consolation strike came off the boot of Colin Semple in the 53rd minute.
In Sunday’s fixture, a Seon Ferreira double piloted Greater Bartica (GB) to a come from behind 3-1 win over South who had taken the lead through a Steve Ramdial 15th minute effort.
But five minutes on, GB cancelled out South’s advantage when Cleon Adams rocked the back of the nets before Ferreira stepped up to nail his double (56 & 77) to seal GB win.
