– Heavy hitters Alpha United to clash with BV/Triumph United at GFC

Some of the best players, drawn from around Guyana and the Caribbean will tonight converge at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground as the 23rd Annual Kashif and Shanghai Football Tournament reaches its quarter-final stage.
Silver Shattas of Linden – the team that defied all odds by reaching this far – will come up against a hungry Pele team in the night’s curtain raiser from 6:30PM while unarguably the best team on paper in the tournament Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United faces BV/Triumph United.
Thanks to a Superman like performance from John Waldron, Silver Shattas came from behind to defeat Uitvlugt United on 4 – 1 on penalty kicks on their own turf.
Waldron opened the scoring in the 6th minute and national striker Tryon Bobb equalized four minutes later for the home side as the two teams were dead locked at the end of the first half.
Two quick goals from Uitvlugt in the 56th and 59th minutes saw the Linden team facing elimination but Waldron put on his cape, dodged the kryptonite of defenders thrown at him and literally carried his team into the next round.
He (Waldron) set up Romel Mathews with a beautiful goal and then just on the stroke of regulation time, he converted his own penalty after being fouled in the 18 yards box.
The player known commonly as ‘Brown Boy’ boasted of his excitement to face Pele and his words of his team‘s resilience will certainly be put to test.
Pele will be led by their captain and MVP candidate Gregory ‘Jackie-Chan’ Richardson who’s playing some of his best football presently, along with Konata Manning and Dirk Archer just to name a few.
But all eyes would be on Alpha United; the most star studded team in the tournament this year.
Club President Odinga Lumumba prior to the start of the tournament did boast of the team he and Coach Wayne Dover will compose for the event – a team he said that is winning everything.
Alpha side includes Grenada’s top striker Kithson Bain, national Captain Chris Nurse, former Captain Charles ‘Lilly’ Pollard, Kayode McKinnon, Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams and Dwight Peters, just to name a few.
However, they say “it’s not how much good players you have, but rather who plays well on the day”; a statement that must be running through the minds of the BV United players.
The team through Delroy Dean showed Championship quality with their 3-1 victory over Timehri Panthers last week.
Dean netted the tournament’s first hat-trick and received admirable support from US based guest player Dominique Henry.
