The first round four match of the Berbice leg of the GFF/Pele Alumini Frank Watson U-15 Intra Association League between Orealla Falcons and Young Strikers scheduled for Saturday last at the Scottsburg Ground, Corriverton ended with Orealla Falcons gaining a walk over from Young Strikers for the second consecutive fixture.
In the second of the double header, Corriverton Links suffered their first defeat, losing by a 2-1 margin to arch rivals Orealla Falcons. Links suffered early setbacks when Brett Sarius struck in the 8th minute, pouncing on a spilled ball after Links’ custodian Simeon Shepherd failed to gather cleanly.
Xavier Andrews added the second, beating Shepherd on his first post in the 13th minute. With the Links now playing catch-up, the Orealla lads defended as though their lives depended upon it. Their stout defending lasted up until the 43rd minute when Links through Terry Adams slammed one home from a throw-in which was headed across the Falcons’ goal within the 18 yards box.

The win for Orealla Falcons has placed them in the lead. Over at the Esplanade Park on Sunday, the opening match of three saw Arsenal whipping Hopetown United Rangers 5-1. Rangers drew first blood with a Danta Barker goal in the 12th minute.
Arsenal equalised through the first of Jafari Adams’ helmet-trick in the 13th minute as the first half ended 1-1. Adams picked up where he left off to slam home two more goals in the 48th and 52nd minutes having received very good support from his midfield.
Jaren Fontinelle scored in the 54th after which Adams completed his tally in the 59th minute. The following eleven minutes saw the Hopetown lads holding Arsenal at bay until the final whistle was blown.
Hearts of Oak won via the walk over route from East Bank Gunners, while the next encounter was an enthralling clash where Cougars went down to the rampaging New Amsterdam United, 6-0.
The Cougars defence were unable to contain the lanky Charles Williams who hammered in a hat-trick in the 6th, 12th and 22nd minutes. An own goal by Cougars defender Curtis Cort under pressure in the 32nd minute accounted for their fourth goal.
The match was closed out by efforts from Nicquan Samuels in the 58th and Jamal Lyte in the 61st minute. The other scheduled match between Monedderlust and Rosignol United at the #5 ground has been rescheduled for this weekend along with other fixtures.
