Uitvlugt Warriors maul Young Achievers 8-1
The second annual Trophy Stall sponsored West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) Under-17 League was officially launched yesterday at the Den Amstel Community Centre Ground.
Representative of Trophy Stall Leroy Jack in an invited comment said that the entity was very pleased to be back on board for the second successive year noting that Manager Ramesh Sunich who was unavoidably absent was committed to the development of young people.
Sunich was so impressed with the standard of competition last year that he rewarded Den Amstel Porknockers, the winners, with a complete set of uniforms.
Mr. Sunich he said will continue to support and invest in empowering the youths and he wishes all the teams the very best this year.
Also present at yesterday’s opening was President (ag) of the GFF Franklin Wilson who thanked Trophy Stall for their continued investment and support of the game over the years.
President (ag) of the WDFA Jevon Rodrigues was also on hand and congratulated the clubs who will compete for silverware. Secretary Chevon Monchoir and Treasurer Dennese Lovell were also present.
Meanwhile, in the lone game played yesterday, Uitvlugt Warriors sounded an ominous warning to their rivals when they hammered Young Achievers 8-1 on the back of a hat-trick off the boot of Robert Christiani who banged the nets in the 8th, 26th and 35th minute.
The game was controlled from start to end by the team that had to settle for the runner-up spot in the inaugural competition, last year.
Dyron Giddings backed up with a brace (83, 86) while there was one each for Keith Duke (40), Keyon Duke (43) and Shomol Smith in the 69th minute. Young Achievers got a consolation goal in the 36th minute via the penalty spot; converting was Nathan Allicock. Competition will continue on Saturday.
