The 2012/13 edition of the Guyana Football Federation Super League continued yesterday with four matches at venues around the country and more interesting results were recorded as the competition heats up gradually.
At the Uitvlugt Ground on the West Coast of Demerara old rivals Uitvlugt and Den Amstel met head to head in this first round in what was anticipated to be a fierce battle with both teams enjoying a fairly good run in the league to date.
Debutants Uitvlugt were coming off their second big win of the league having bounced past defending champions Alpha United 2-1 and Linden’s Milerock 4-3 on Sunday last at the same venue.
The fair size crowd was treated to an exciting duel but it was the home team that walked away from the showdown with full points. They were boosted with the return from duties in Trinidad and Tobago with Caledonia AIA of teenage sensation Trayon Bobb who scored a double against El Salvador in the just concluded World Cup Qualifying campaign for Guyana.
The younger Bobb, whose elder brother Orville, also a former National, is Captain/Coach of the Uitvlugt Warriors side, wasted no time in imposing himself on the opposition when he found the back of the nets with the game being just two minutes old.
Taking the early lead meant that Den Amstel would have had to work even harder against their old rivals to get back into contention. They had the confidence having drawn their last two matches against Western Tigers and Pele, respectively.
And even while Den Amstel were harbouring thoughts of rebounding, Uitvlugt placed even more pressure on Den Amstel when Jamal Harvey scored from the penalty spot in the 17th minute after himself being brought down.
No more goals were scored and that’s how the game ended with Uitvlugt walking away with full points, their third win in as many matches.
Up at the Rosignol Ground, the home team inflicted a 4-1 whipping on Western Tigers, while at the BV Ground on the East Coast of Demerara, neighbours Buxton United Sports Club and BV Triumph United battled to a 0-0 stalemate.
Buxton dominated proceedings for the most part but were just not able to get it right in the attacking third. The other game of the day was on at the GFC Ground last night when Pele entertained Linden’s Milerock.
