GT&T FastBall – Golden Grove emerge as East Coast winners

Jul 21, 2011 Sports

Georgetown and Lethem to conclude today

Golden Stars of Golden Grove saved the best for the final two minutes as they nailed Daddy’s Enterprise to win the East Coast Zone of the inaugural GT&T FastBall knock-out football tournament yesterday at the BV Community Ground.
Golden Stars, trailing 1-0 for almost the entire match, relished the introduction of the all important blue ball as they banged in back to back goals in the final two minutes to win the game 4-1 and bragging rights for the next year as the best FastBall team in the East.
Carlos Kingston netted both goals (six second penalties) for the winners, Daddy’s Enterprise not being able to control their flair for fouling. They had taken the lead in the 10th minute through Owen Adonis.
Yesterday’s third place encounter was a historic moment for the competition as it was decided after a total of 19 sudden death penalty kicks, the home team BV Triumph United being victorious 10-9 over Ann’s Grove/Line Stars United.
Regulation time of 30 minutes failed to separate the two sides, ending 1-1. Eon Dooker handed BV the lead in the 9th minute a lead they enjoyed until the 25th when Ann’s Grove/Line Stars leveled the score line through a Dwayne Rogers goal.
With sudden death penalty kicks having to be employed to decide the winner, neither team wanted to give up as their players scored including the two goalkeepers. In the end, it was the 9-member BVTU line up that prevailed, one of their players having to score twice.
LETHEM
Competition in this zone kicked off yesterday and will climax today with the winner of the Strikers United versus Tabatinga clash at 15:30hrs facing Saints Undertakers in the final at 17:00hrs.
In yesterday’s matches, Saints Undertakers defeated Lethem Snatchers 2-0, George Bobb converting a six second penalty on the stroke of half time to sink Lethem Snatchers.
The other game yesterday saw Strikers United moving on at the expense of Gladiators 4-2. Zaulo Da Silva Costa (2), Francis Kennedy (7) Valdemi Barreto (8) and Eddi Johnson in the 11th minute striking the back of the nets for Strikers United.
Gladiators got their pair of goals via the blue ball, Yusuf Abrahams rocking the nets in the 14th minute.
