Aug 19, 2018 Sports

The BV/Triumph 8th of May Movement Emancipation Cohesion Football League, which is largely sponsored by Bakewell/Lloyd W P Britton/G O Benjamin/GLDA/NAREI/ROCK and Roy’s Pharmacy, culminated its preliminary rounds in fantastic fashion on Friday at Beterverwagting (BV) ground and with such today’s semifinal fixtures have been decided.
In an evening full of excitement, flowing mainly from the teams’ final opportunity to make the semifinals, Mahaica created a great opportunity for themselves after drubbing St. John’s Basco Orphange 8-0 in a one-sided affair.
Kirt Roberts scored four goals for Mahaica.
In the second match of the evening, the superior skill of Tucville overshadowed the apparent mixture of youth and seasonal veterans of GWI, to hand the ‘waterworks’ men a devastating 4-0 defeat.
The third match on Friday between Plaisance and Eastveldt had circulated a high level of interest, owing to the fact that Plaisance required a victory by three or more goals over Eastveldt, to be assured of a place in the semi-finals, both teams evidently competed courageously, with Eastveldt, marking their name in just the third minute of the match, when Mario Eastman netted a right-footed goal.
Eastveldt’ striker O’Neil Glasgow scored in the 60th minute but no more goals followed for the Georgetown club during the remainder of the match.
In the feature match of the night, Mahaicony had to achieve the mammoth goal of defeating league favorites, BV, by a margin of 8 goals, to be assured of a place in the semi-finals, and although they didn’t win, Mahaicony gave an excellent account of themselves, holding BV to 2-2 draw at the conclusion of the 60 minute engagement.
