All Greys held to draw by GCC
Woodpecker Products Ladies & John Fernandes Insurance 2nd Division Men’s Leagues
– GCC women still lead
Front runners in the John Fernandes Insurance Men’s Second Division League, All Greys, were again held to a 2-2 draw by a resurgent GCC side who has kept their title hopes alive with the result as play continued on
GCC goalscorer Trisha Woodroffe (white jersey) and Hikers Shundel Durant battle for possession in their encounter.
Sunday, at the St. Stanislaus College ground on Carifesta Avenue.
The match was almost like a carbon copy of their first encounter, where All Greys used their superior experience and tactics to get out to a 2-0 lead through a double from Sheldon Corlette.
The tide slowly turned, however, in the second half as experience succumbed to youth and GCC drew level through goals from Patrick Edghil and Michael Craig to earn a creditable draw.
The only other men’s match of the weekend saw an opportunistic Old Fort side take an early lead against Hikers.
Old Fort led for the majority of the match, after taking the early lead through Trolex Young and thanks to some stout defending by the Old Fort back line and poor finishing from the Hikers forwards.
The Old Fort defence held strong until the third quarter, but once Hikers drew level there was no stopping them as they scored three more unanswered goals on their way to the 4-1 victory.
In the Woodpecker Products Ladies League GCC women, fresh off their good showing in Trinidad, took charge of the tournament with three wins from as many matches, despite the absence of several key players due to injury.
After disposing of Old Fort and the National Under 20 Women 5-0 and 4-0 respectively, GCC were eventually tested by a resolute Hikers side filled with several former nationals.
Hikers frustrated the GCC forwards for most of the first half, before Tricia Woodroffe gave GCC the lead late in the second quarter.
Hikers continued to frustrate the GCC forward line through some intelligent defending from sweeper Marisha Rodrigues, which led to some counterattacks of their own.
This pattern continued until GCC’s Ulrica Sutherland put her team further ahead in the 42nd minute to guarantee the win.
The result meant that GCC remained the only unbeaten side in the competition with 9 points from three matches followed by Hikers on 6, while National Under 20s on 2 and Old Fort are yet to score.
