Caribbean Inter-Club Football Competition…Slingerz and Boystown draw; Alpha defeat Buxton United
Two action packed encounters heralded the opening night when the curtains went up on the Caribbean Inter-Club football competition at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Wednesday evening last.
Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams continued his good showing for his new club, Slingerz with a 19th minute strike to put Jamaican club team, Boystown, on the back foot. The goal held up for most of the match until Peter Keyes brought the situation back to equilibrium in the 90th minute as the game ended 1-1.
Anthony Abrams (#10) gets past the advancing Boystown keeper (#1) on his way to the eventual opening goal of the match.
One match earlier, Edison Gomes slammed in a double in the 36th and 56th minute to seal the deal for Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United against Buxton United. The latter team played valiantly but was simply outclassed by a unified force in Alpha who played a superior brand of football.
The action moves over to the East Coast this evening when Buxton would enjoy home advantage to the Jamaica team, Boystown at their Community Centre Ground in the feature attraction of a double header. The curtain raiser will feature Slingerz and Alpha United in an eagerly awaited grudge match.
The final set of matches will be played on Sunday March 9, when Slingerz clash with Buxton United from 18:00hrs followed by a Celebrity game at 20:30hrs. The final match for that evening pits the skill of Alpha United against Boystown FC. These matches will be played at the GFC Ground.
Meanwhile, the two Jamaican reggae stars, Duane Stephenson and Ginja were at the touchline rendering full support for their countrymen. Later on, they took centre stage with the microphone, dishing out some of their popular renditions.
Whichever way the competition goes for Alpha, they will feel gratified to have had worthwhile match practice as they are now preparing for the all important CFU Club Championship in Jamaica. They are grouped with Habourview and T&T’s Defence Force.
