GFF/Banks Beer Premier League…Den Amstel, GDF register wins
Den Amstel, who had to endure the humiliation of Grove Hi Tech coming into their backyard and beating them, were in no mood to suffer a similar fate at the hands of Linden’s Winners Connection, thrashing them 6-1 as play in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) / Banks Beer Premier League continued yesterday, at the Community Centre ground.

Played before a fair-sized and partisan crowd, the West Demerara-based side were led to victory through a hat-trick from Delon Lanferman, who netted in the 9th, 51st and 90th minutes, while Dwayne Charles (21st) an own goal in the 25th and Jeffrey Perreira’s 38th minute strike accounted for the remaining goals.
Winners Connection lone response was scored by Ezra Ashby in the 34th minute of play.
In the curtain raiser, the Guyana Defence Force made it two wins in as many matches when they squeezed past a stubborn Grove Hi Tech 1-0 with the speedy Delwyn Fraser’s 88th minute strike separating the two teams.
In the feature game, Lanferman started the rut very early when fired in from close range and it took another twelve minutes, before Charles gave them a two-goal cushion with a beautiful solo effort.
Urged on by the voluble band of supporters, Den Amstel continued their relentless pursuit for more goals and it was on one occasion of sustained attacking football that led to their third goal which came compliments of an own goal.
Winners Connection, with no other alternative but to go on the offensive, managed to reduce the deficit in the 34th minute with Ashby netting.
However, to emphasise their dominance the hosts netted once again to take a comfortable 4-1 lead into the break.
Six minutes after the resumption, it was back to business for Den Amstel when Lanferman netted his second goal as they attacked with menace throughout the period and to round off an outstanding afternoon, he added one more to his tally on the stroke of full time.
Even three minutes of extra time failed to improve Winners Connection scoreline as they slumped to a lop-sided loss.
