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.

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.

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.
