Mahaica Determinators beat Rosignol; New Amsterdam United trounce Timehri
Mahaica Determinators defeated Rosignol United by a 2-0 margin, while New Amsterdam United mauled Timehri Panthers 10-1 to book quarter final slots when action continued on day three of the inaugural Stag Super XV1 knock-out football tournament at the #5 ground, West Coast Berbice on Sunday last.
Hosting their second set of matches following the opening day one week earlier, the Berbice fans were treated to a goal feast especially in the first match which saw New Amsterdam United putting away the challenge of Timehri Panthers in dismissive style, led by Adrian Adams who blasted the nets on five occasions.
Adams, wearing the popular #10 jersey represented in style; he first blasted the ball past goal keeper Cletus Johnson in the 18th minute which started the onslaught. Thereafter, it was a steady trek back to the centerline for the restart of the ball.
Adams was again on target in the 36th minute to end the first half with a brace of goals as did Rondel Hazel, who hit the network in the 29th and first minute of added on time (45+1), as New Amsterdam enjoyed a comfortable 4-1 advantage at the end of the first half; Timehri pulling one back three minutes to the break, through an Andy Higgins effort.
At this stage of the encounter, it was only a matter of how many goals the Timehri boys would allow as they proved to be no match for the home boys. The procession was even more frequent in the final 45 minutes as New Amsterdam decimated their prey.
Leonardo Adams started the goal party in the 59th minute during the second segment, while Devon James took over with a brace of his own in the 73rd and 84th minute to increase the advantage to 7-1. It was only appropriate for Adrian Adams, who started the onslaught to finish it.
He {Adams}blasted the nets in the 86th, 88th and first minute of added on time (90+1) to seal the fate of the wounded Panthers, 10-1 and secure their place in the quarter finals; a date with fellow Berbice side Monedderlust on Christmas Day at the Buxton Community Centre ground.
Sunday’s feature match-up provided keen action despite the 2-0 margin of victory enjoyed by Mahaica Determinators who would now face Cougars, another Berbice side on Boxing Day at the Victoria ground in their quarter final clash.
Mahaica sealed the deal early in the piece, by the 29th minute they had netted both goals; Kurt Roberts opened proceedings in the 12th minute with Quincy Holder doubling and virtually sealing the deal in the 29th minute.
Rosignol tried their utmost to get on the score sheets in order to put pressure on the visitors but they were unsuccessful in that regard.
