Den Amstel, Amelia’s Ward, Western Tigers & Pele seal full points
When play in the Guyana Football Federation National Super League continued yesterday at two venues, taking full points from their encounters were Den Amstel Porknockers, Amelia’s Ward United, Pele and Western Tigers.
Defending in numbers! Den Amstel Porknockers on the defensive against Milerock in the closing moments of their clash yesterday at the Uitvlugt Community Centre Ground.
At the Uitvlugt Community Centre Ground, West Coast Demerara, Den Amstel averted a clean sweep by the Linden teams when they needled Milerock in the feature game compliments of a Travis Hilliman 46th minute goal following a goalless opening 45 minutes.
With both teams featuring quite a number of junior players with an eye on their future development, Den Amstel came closest to breaking the deadlock on a few occasions. In the first minute after the resumption however, a well placed left foot shot from Hilliman separated the two sides.
Milerock did try their best to draw level having enjoyed some good moments on the offence but the Den Amstel defence stood up strong as they kept the Linden side at bay.
In the opening fixture, Amelia’s Ward United upstaged debutants and ‘upsetters’ Uitvlugt Warriors 2-1 to snap the home team’s unbeaten run, while remaining the only unbeaten side in this first round of the League.
The Bauxite Mining town based team never allowed the rampaging Uitvlugt to get settled as they racked up a 2-0 advantage before Uitvlugt were able to pull one back. The seasoned and dependable Travis Waterton and Keon Sears were the players scoring for Amelia’s Ward; Jamaal Harvey netted Uitvlugt’s consolation.
Up at the Buxton Community Centre Ground, Western Tigers secured their second win in five (5) matches when they handed Buxton United Sports Club their first loss, a 3-0 score line, all the goals coming in the first half of play.
Gavin Wilson opened proceedings for the city based side in the 36th minute. The advantage was doubled six minutes later when Dwayne Ali found shooting range and hit the network with his shot. The game was put beyond the reach of the home team on the stroke of half time, Phillip Rowley, inking his name of the score sheets.
The final 45 minutes did not produce any goals but that did not matter to Western as they had already did the work in eth opening 45 minutes.
In the first game, Pele secured their first win of the season, handed BV Triumph United their first loss, 2-0. The opening half produced some keen exchanges but the deadlock was maintained up until the 70th minute when Gregory Richardson was on target.
Nine minutes later, it was Kanata Manning turn and he made no mistake in sinking the shot, Pele 2 BVTU 0 at the end of regulation time.
Competition will continue on Wednesday evening at the GFC Ground when Alpha United takes on BV Triumph United from 19:00hrs.
