UDFA GT Beer Super Cup… Upper Demerara and East Coast secure 3-1 victories

Jul 26, 2017 Sports

Host association Upper Demerara won for the second time with a 3-1 dismissal of an improving Essequibo Pomeroon side to move atop the points standing as East Bank came from an opening drawn game to register a come from behind to win against East Coast 3-1 as action in Group A of the eight association Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) inaugural GT Beer Inter Association championship continued last Sunday at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground.
While the times for the game were unavailable, playing in the first match East Coast would take the lead in the first half when Kevaughn Garnett sent them into the lead which they enjoyed until the second period.
First to equalize for the East Coast was Lloyd Matthews and then Joel Dick sent them into the lead before the win was sealed through a goal off the boot of Mervin Squires.
In the second game of the night, Upper Demerara turned back a determined Essequibo Pomeroon side which could have gotten more goals, while the host team also did not make use of other opportunities which came their way. Denzil Fordyce was in good form once against sending the Upper Demerara side into the lead in the 35th minute and by the end of the first half they were up 2-0 as Kellon Primo netted in the 45th minute.
Two minutes into the second stanza Primo would get his second goal for a 3-1 advantage. The Essequibo side managed to reduce that with a strike in the 90th plus two minutes after some lapses in concentration on the Linden team’s part and the game ended 3-1 to send the Upper Demerara team to six pints from two wins, while East Bank now have four points to be second ahead of Essequibo who drew with East Coast in their open game and are on one point as are Essequibo.
On Sunday Berbice oppose Bartica and Georgetown face West Demerara at the same venue.
