Tuschen Up-Top-Youths, Vergenoegen All-Stars and Uitvlugt record wins

Aug 31, 2014 Sports

Tournament favourites Tuschen Up-Top-Youths, along with the undefeated Vergenoegen All-Stars and Uitvlugt were all in the winner’s row when action in the Stag Beer West Side 5-A-Side football tournament continued on Friday last.
Playing at the Vergenoegen Rice Mill Tarmac, the tournament saw another massive crowd turning up to witness what was a night of exciting play. Labeled ‘the team to beat’, Tuschen Up-Top-Youths defeated Showtime compliments of Devon Millington’s lone strike in the 17th minute.
The margin of victory could have been wider since the Tuschen team was guilty of muffing lots of goals even from point-blank range. Carlisle Carron (7) and Jamaal Petty (19) helped Uitvlugt to a 2-1 win over De Kendrend village.
The two West Coast Demerara villages certainly kept the crowd on the edge with some pulsating play and after De Kendrend village registered the first goal through Andre Hector in the 2nd minute, Uitvlugt got into business mode.
Both sides had equal opportunities to score but it was Uitvlugt who seemed hungrier to reach the finals where they can contest for the tournament’s $200,000 top prize.
Meanwhile, Marvin Marks’ goal in the second minute was more than enough to ensure Vergenoegen All-Stars remain unbeaten in the tournament and take pole position in their group.
Woodcrest lost 1-0 to the team from East Bank Essequibo who once again, by virtue of being the home team, enjoyed very good crowd support. In the other matches played, Jetty Gunner and New Road Eagles (the tournament’s only other undefeated team) saw their games ending in goalless draws while the Shattaville Pacesetters and Stewartville Gunners clash finished 1-1.
Jouel Stephens put Shattaville Pacesetters ahead in the opening minute but Marvin Henry’s strike in the 20th minute equalized proceedings. The tournament continues tonight at the same venue and will see the conclusion of the Group Stages. Vergenoengen and Den Amstel will meet in an Under-17 encounter; Show Stoppers will engage Broad Street, GPL match skills with GWI while Show Stoppers will face Show Time.
Quarter-final matches will be played on Wednesday September 3 with the Semi-finals on Friday September 5 followed by the finals on Sunday September 7.
