Golden Grove hammer Ann’s Grove 4-0; Buxton United finish 3rd
GFF/EDFA Under-17 League Final
GFF President (ag) Franklin Wilson presents the winning trophy to Golden Grove’s Captain Justin Bristol in the presence of his teammates.
The East Demerara Football Association (EDFA) Under-17 League sponsored by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) ended on Friday afternoon at the Buxton Community Centre Ground with Golden Grove easily disposing of Ann’s Grove 4-0 to win the tournament.
In the third place match-up, Buxton United got the better of Melanie Tritons by the odd goal in three.
Golden Grove totally dominated Ann’s Grove in the championship game with Mickel Evans netting a brace to guide them to the title. Evans broke the deadlock in the 30th minute with a well directed free kick that curled into the top end of the nets at the northern goal, seawall end of the Ground.
The strike stood firm by the end of the first half with Ann’s Grove never really threatening to neutralize the advantage. After the resumption, the old order of dominance was restored with Golden Grove now attacking the southern goal.
Phillip Liverpool increased the advantage in the 51st minute and 9 minutes later, Captain Justin Bristol put the game way beyond the reach of the hapless Ann’s Grove side. The deal was sealed in the 70th minute when Evans completed his double.
In the third place game, Melanie Tritons rushed into the lead in just the 3rd minute against home team Buxton United through an Akeem Smith goal. However, they were not able to sustain that advantage for any length of time as the home team rebounded to draw level in the 15th minute, compliments of a Junior Joseph goal.
Five minutes later, the game was sealed Buxton’s way when Ryon Newton found the back of the nets.
At the presentation ceremony Ryan Singh of Melanie tritons was adjudged the Most Valuable Player of the tournament; his club mate Seon Singh ended as the player with the most goals (3).
Buxton United’s Jason Cromwell, the National Under-17 goalkeeper, was voted the best of the competition. Buxton Stars walked away with the Fair Play trophy.
Melanie Tritons for placing fourth received one set of medals, while the top three teams also collected medals along with trophies. GFF President (ag) Franklin Wilson presented the winner’s trophy to Captain of Golden Grove, Justin Bristol.
