GDF and Police march off with honours

Feb 05, 2013 Sports

Marlon Benjamin netted a hat-trick in the 33rd, 35th and 90th minutes and was supported by Clifford Garraway (47th) and Quincy Craig (91st) to lead the Guyana Defence Force to a 5-1 victory over Seawall FC when the curtains went up on the Fruta Conquerors/Namilco One Love Football Classic tournament at the Tucville Ground Sunday evening last. Omali Nassy netted in the 41st minute for Seawall in what was really an inconsequential feat.
The night’s opener saw Police emerging victorious over Seawall 5-4 on penalty kicks, this after both teams failed to breach their opponents’ goal during regulation and then extra time.
The action continues at the same venue on Friday February 8 next with two highly anticipated games. At 18:30hrs, Buxton United FC takes on Western Tigers while Fruta Conquerors will tackle beacons. The Buxton United/Western Tigers match should provide some excitement especially since the latter team would still be bristling after being booted out of the 2012 edition of the K&S Football extravaganza complements of a Michael Phyll stinger delivered from way past the halfway line.
The ‘Tigers’ are expected to come out snarling and bearing their claws as they attempt to avenge that loss. A more detailed analysis will appear in a later edition of this publication.
Fifteen teams will be vying for top honours in an elimination format over 8 competitive playing days. The grand final and the 3rd place playoff are scheduled for one day after Mashramani day. All matches will be played at the Tucville Ground.
