Elite League which was contested at the Tucville Playfield.
The opening game produced a comfortable 4-1 win for Fruta Conquerors over the Georgetown Football Club (GFC).
Monedderlust have only themselves to blame having dominated Alpha in the first half. They created a plethora of opportunities especially in the opening 45 minutes but somehow were not able to convert, they even hit the cross bar in a solid display.
Like true warriors however, Alpha absorbed the pressure and rode their luck. The ever lurking Delon Lanferman, Alpha’s most potent weapon in the league continued his rich run of form by netting the winning goal in the 70th minute. It turned out to be the game winner.
In the opening match, Fruta Conquerors romped to a comfortable 4-1 win over GFC whose 14 year-old goalkeeper Sesi Norville made a few basic blunders which cost them easy goals.
Kawme LaFleur handed the home team the lead in the 27th minute, Eon Alleyne doubled same in the 46th minute before GFC pulled one back four minutes later through a Cortez Kellman goal to halve the deficit.
However, Conquerors would restore the two goal advantage with a well directed free kick from veteran Delon Williams in the 64th minute. Williams himself was fouled close to the touch line a few meters away from the box. The long kick seemed destined to swirl outside the right upright but dipped and eased into the back of the nets to the surprise of Norville and teammates.
The final goal too could have been averted but the lack of experience of the GFC teenager allowed Daniel Favourite’s 67th minute shot to squeeze over the goal line.
Play will continue on Friday at the same venue when a humdinger of a double header will be on for the fans to enjoy.
Pele and Slingerz will go head to head in the opening encounter while Conquerors will take on the GDF in the night capper.
