Stag Beer EDFA Senior League…BVTU, Bakewell Buxton Stars & Buxton United record wins
When competition in the Stag Beer sponsored East Demerara Football Association (EDFA) Senior League continued last the weekend, BV Triumph United, Buxton United and Bakewell Buxton Stars all recorded victories; Golden Grove and Plaisance battling to a 0-0 stalemate.
BVTU can count themselves lucky to come away with full points over Victoria Kings by a 2-1 margin having to come from behind. BV created numerous chances but were very poor in the attacking third as they muffed those chances.
Victoria Kings on the other hand, absorbed the many attacks and responded with quite a few of their own; given the poor nature of finishing by BV it was no surprise when Victoria Kings cantered into the lead in the 55th minute.
Reuben Morrison it was that found the back of the nets with a well taken shot that breached the usually safe hands of goalkeeper Linden Dennis.

It was a good reward for the Kings and a sure wake up call for BV who found themselves now trailing as they attacked the seawall end goal. With the Kings now confident and the minutes ticking away, the task for BV was even more challenging.
But as it turned out, they rose to the occasion and delivered in the end. Quincy Price it was who would draw them level in the 85th minute and two minutes later, Mark Gonsalves delivered the winner to knock the wind out of the sails of the Victoria Kings team and maintained BV’s quest to dethrone the reigning Senior champs, Kings.
The other game on Sunday at the Buxton Ground ended in a 0-0 stalemate between Golden Grove and Plaisance.
On Saturday, both Buxton teams were in winner’s row at their home ground. Ann’s Grove United went down to Buxton United by the odd goal in three. Jamaal Booker handed Buxton the lead in the 39th minute but it did not take too long for that advantage to be nullified by Ann’s Grove.
One minute to half time it came for them through a goal off the boot of Kevon Barry; Ann’s grove 1 Buxton United 1. With the home support flowing, Buxton did not waste any time in restoring the dominance.
Three minutes into the second half they {Buxton} went ahead again, this time Keoma Sullivan delivered what turned out to be the winning goal.
Bakewell Buxton Stars needed a 46th minute strike from Seon Thomas to beat Mahaica 1-0 in the other Saturday match.
Play will continue this weekend.
