GFF/NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power Nat. U-17 League…Gordon and Glasgow blast hat-tricks in leading BAPSC and BVTU to wins
Bachelor’s Adventure Paradise Sports Club (BAPSC) and BV Triumph United (BVTU) recorded
Teshawn Gordon of Bachelor’s Adventure Paradise celebrates his opening goal with a teammate.
contrasting wins yesterday on account of a hat-trick each from Teshawn Gordon (BAPSC) and Omari Glasgow (BVTU) as play in the inaugural GFF/NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power National Intra Association Under-17 League continued at the Melanie ground, East Coast Demerara.
Playing in the feature match, BAPSC made light work of Buxton Stars whom they eased past 4-0 after leading 2-0 at the end of the first 45 minutes.
Buxton were up to the task of matching their counterparts from Bachelor’s Adventure, the reigning East Demerara Football Association Under-17 champions play for play in the opening exchanges but as the match matured, Bachelor’s Adventure gradually took control of proceedings.
The winners played a more robust game as they outhustled the Buxton side. Gordon hammered in both first half goals, hitting the target in the 24th and 40th minute, Buxton’s goalkeeper Kareem Wills being unable to keep Gordon’s shots outside of the nets.
The second half was no different for the lads from Bachelor’s Adventure as they replicated their first half performance. Gordon was again on the score sheets in the 70th minute to increase the advantage to 3-0 and eight minutes later to 4-0 thanks to a Colin Hendricks strike.
In the opening match, it was all the Omari Glasgow show as he singlehandedly took the fight to Golden Stars FC and came out victor in a David vs Goliath like match up.
The BV side is made up of lots of players small in stature but they have big hearts and that is what took them to a memorable win against a Golden Stars line up that featured many goliaths like players.
Glasgow undoubtedly one of the more skillful players on show in the tournament, once again

displayed why he is a vital player in the BV line-up. Golden Stars enjoyed the early momentum which included many physical plays as they asserted themselves against the BV boys.
The Stars were golden 20 minutes on when Shamar Kingston hammered in their first goal past Shawn Cudjoe between the uprights for BVTU. But even though they found themselves trailing, the BV lads showed good control and skills and were very patient whenever they got the ball.
Golden Stars somehow took the BV lads for granted and gradually lost the early punch they displayed as BV began to show more confidence as they made more frequent plays in the Golden Stars defensive third.
One such play brought them the equalizer when one of their {BV} players was brought down in the box. Stepping up to take the penalty was none other than Omari Glasgow and he made no mistake in banging the ball past the outstretched hands of Golden Stars’ goalie, Shawn Adonis

in the 43rd minute.
It was exactly what the doctor had ordered the BV lads and it certainly pumped up their adrenaline for the remaining two minutes and this rolled over to the second half which saw BVTU very dominant in the opening moments which certainly set the mood and mode for the remainder of the match.
Five minutes into the half, Glasgow caught the Golden Stars defenders flatfooted as they afforded him the luxury of space and he obliged by shooting a powerfully taken shot to the far corner to beat a surprised Adonis in the 50th minute which handed BVTU the lead for the first time in the match.
BV to their credit made the ball do the work as a collective unit which was quite the opposite for the Golden Stars players.
Glasgow was again on the score sheets in the 70th minute to double BVTU’s advantage as they cantered to a 3-1 advantage; effectively knocking the wind out of the sails of Golden Stars. Despite pulling one back in the 80th minute to reduce the lead by one on account of Kingston’s second of the match (3-2), BV held strong in the remaining 10 minutes to celebrate victory and deservedly so.
