Shiriri trash Kumu Terminators 8-nil

Sep 06, 2009 Sports

In scorching afternoon sunshine last Friday at the St Ignatius ground in Region 9, Shiriri Football Club (SFC) trashed Kuma Terminators Football Club (KTFC) 8-nil as action in the inaugural senior male Football League continued in Lethem.
Watched by a small gathering, the 11th game of the competition commenced 30 minutes late (16:30hrs) due to the late arrival of the KTFC players who had to make the 45-minute trip from their village to the match venue on bicycles.
The Shiriri FC combination which traveled 50 miles by Vehicles for the encounter played a fairly good standard of football and dominated their inexperienced opponents throughout the match after their first game loss against Tabatinga.
Teenager Andre Deniz, whose father is Guyanese and mother Brazilian, netted 4 goals while Skipper Maxie Ignace found the back of the net three times and got support from Issac Lewis who scored the other goal.
This was Kumu FC’s 4th loss in the 8-team competition which involves teams from the entire North, Central and South Central Rupununi areas.
Ignace opened the scoring in the 5th minutes and then made it 2-nil 2 minutes later before again scoring just before the half-time whistle.
Deniz scored in the 39th and 42nd minutes after Lewis had eluded the Kumu FC custodian in the 12th minute.  At half-time Shiriri were leading -6-nil.
The energetic Deniz compounded Kumu FC’s misery with 2 more goals (56th and 58th) in the second stanza to set up what should be a more competitive match-up today when they face-off with Gladiators at the same venue from 16:00hrs.
