Two more matches are planned for today when the President Beer Super 8 KO Tournament continues at the GFC ground.
Trevon Lythcott
Troy Prescod
Shad Fernandes
In the opening fixture, Santos tackle Northern Rangers from 18:30 hrs and that will be followed by the feature clash between hosts GFC and Camptown.
Santos, a team that had shown remarkable improvement shortly before local football was abruptly ended due to the ongoing impasse between the Guyana Football Federation and the Georgetown Football Association, will have in their line-up seasoned players such as former ‘Golden Jaguars’ Glenorvan Edmonds along with Lennox Charles and William Europe, while Kimba Brathwaite and Sherwin Vincent will lead the charge for victory for Northern Rangers.
In the other game, GFC will be relying on the services of Shad Fernandes to engineer any chances they have of victory, while Camptown’s quest to advance further will rest on the shoulders of the evergreen Troy ‘Bugsy’ Prescod, Devon Lindie and how well goalkeeper Oswald Cornette performs between the uprights.
Meanwhile, in opening day action, the GDF crushed the Guyana Police Force 5-0 through goals from Sherwyn Caesar (21 min), Delwyn Fraser (65 and 85 mins), Hubert Pedro (75 min) and Marlon Benjamin (88 min). Pedro was red carded in the 80 minute of play.
Fruta Conquerors then beat Riddim Squad 3-1 in overtime with Joshua Brown (44 min), Michael Henry (105 min) and Trevon Lythcott (115min), the players on target, while Lyttleton Ramsey (9 min) had given the East Bank Demerara unit the initial lead. Riddim Squad’s Dorville Stewart (118min) was the recipient of the second red card of the day.
