Four clubs have already placed their hands up staking a claim for the top spot in the Georgetown Football Association leg of the
GFF/KFC Under-20 Independence Cup knockout tournament, Beacon FC, Georgetown Football Club, Riddim Squad FC of Mocha and GT Panthers, all recording wins.
Playing at the GFF National Training Center, Providence, East Bank Demerara, Beacons was held to a 2-2 draw with Eastveldt FC which fought back from a 2-0 deficit which was however all in vein as it was later determined that Eastveldt FC fielded an ineligible player which resulted in them having to forfeit the match.
Scoring for Beacon FC were Shaquan Stephens in the 6th minute and Darien Dickson in the 19th. Responding for Eastveldt FC was Antwone Vasconcellos in the 32nd and 43rd minute, all in vain.
Georgetown Football Club (GFC) displayed ominous form when they trounced Pele FC 10-2 in the second match on Saturday last. Leading the Bourda Blues Kelsey Benjamin with a helmet-trick (16’, 21’, 33’, 49’), with a double off
from Dwayne Rebeiro in the 10th and 28th minute.
There was a goal apiece for Michael Richmond (40′ – Own Goal Pele), Adrian Aaron (42′), Rondel Petters (46′) and Reuben Miller in the 69th minute. Scoring for Pele FC were Dorwin George (61′) and Zian Gray (70′).
Riddim Squad edged Camptown FC 2-1 with the winners getting their goals from Oneal McKinnon (24′) and Deshaun Ellis (86′); Camptown FC got their consolation goal from Shane Jones (50′).
GT Panthers FC was in dismissive mode when they engaged Black Pearl FC, mauling them, 15-1. Hat-tricks were recorded by Joshua Anthony (5′, 37′, 43′) and Vasco Cabral (24′, 65′, 72′). There was a double for Whitaker Paul (28′, 33′) and one apiece for Uriah King (40′), Nadir Walker (51′), Antonia Xavier (67′), Leonardo Thomas (70′) and Malcolm Terrence.
Black Pearl FC’s consolation goal was netted by Ishmael Allicock in the 9th minute.
Action will continue tomorrow at the same venue from 11:00hrs when Fruta Conquerors play Riddim Squad followed by Santos against Beacons. The semi finals would be contested on Sunday with GT Panthers taking on the winner of the Fruta Conquerors vs Riddim Squad clash while the second semi will bring together GFC and the winner of the Santos vs Beacons showdown.
