Guyana Police Force, Western Tigers advance in curtain raiser
Guyana Football Association/Banks DIH football championships
The Guyana Police Force scored a last gasp goal 3 minutes before the final whistle to defeat Eastveldt 2-1 
when the curtains went up on the 5th edition of the Guyana Football Association/Banks DIH Football Championships at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eveleary, last Sunday evening.
The first two goals of the match were scored from the penalty spot during exchanges in the first half. Policeman, Leron Charles, sunk his team’s first goal after he was gifted a penalty from a foul inside the box in the 5th minute of play.
As if conforming to a script, Eastveldt received a similar gift three minutes later after David George was fouled in the box and dutifully breached the Police custodian to equalize the situation in the 8th minute. Thereafter, a keen tussle ensued, as each team attempted to gain the ascendency. Both were unsuccessful and went in at the halfway mark stalemated at a goal apiece. The two teams battled ferociously but failed to breach each other’s defence, that is, until Keron Boston broke away and sunk the decisive goal for the lawmen.
