Jul 15, 2012 Sports

Competition in the Stag Beer sponsored East Demerara Football Association (EDFA) First Division League will continue today with a double header at the BV Ground, East Coast Demerara.
Victoria Kings and Golden Stars will open play at 14:00hrs with the main event featuring Plaisance and home team BV.
Both BV and Victoria Kings will be seeking to increase their point’s tally having won both their opening matches last weekend. BV defeated Buxton United 2-0 while Victoria Kings were 1-0 winners over Mahaica Determinators.
In the lone game played yesterday at the same venue, Buxton Stars and Ann’s Grove battled to an exciting 1-1 draw.
Both teams came to the park offensive minded but neither was able to nail the many chances created after hitting the network once each.
Ann’s Grove it was that took the early lead when a long range shot from Nokosie Denny on the left side of goal looped over the head of the Buxton makeshift goalie Randy Phyll who had to take up duties for the first 20 minutes of the game.
The goal saw wild celebrations by Ann’s Grove but Buxton kept their focus and knew that it was early days yet. In the meantime, first choice custodian Royston Nascimento took up duties between the uprights.
It did not take Buxton Stars too long to nullify the Ann’s Grove advantage and as fate would have it, it was longer, long range shot that did the trick at the opposing end of the goal.
From midway in the Ann’s Grove half also on the left side, Bako Lewis, himself was more than surprised when his lobbed pass which was intended for one of his colleagues sailed high into the air and seemed destined to clear the cross bar but dropped into the back of the nets in the 23rd minute just over the finger tips of a surprised Travis Allen, Ann’s Grove goalkeeper.
The equalizer brought back smile to the faces of the Buxton supporters and players. Neither side stepped off the throttle as the exchanges were fast and furious. Some close chances were created but neither of the teams was able to breach each other defense which meant that they had to settle for an equal share of the spoils when eth final whistle was sounded by Referee, Venton Mars.
Ann’s Grove which won their first game by walk over now move to 4 points in the standings and top of the tables, Buxton Stars increased their tally to two points having secured their second draw in as many matches.
