Uitvlugt Ground

Charles Benn, Romel Medas and Telbert Baptiste – Eagles FC

WDFA President, Orin Ferrier disclosed that the association would have been able to gain access to the ground following a series of meetings with the management of the Uitvlugt Estate, part of the Guysuco family.
Eagles celebrated the return of the game to this once popular venue, which would have also hosted international matches, with an exciting victory over neighbours Uitvlugt Warriors, 3-2.
Eagles FC of Stewartville have continued their winning ways and is the only unbeaten team following the first round of this league; their first round encounter against Uitvlugt also ended 3-2 in their favour.
Charles Benn in the 41st minute, Telbert Baptiste in the 46th and Romel Medas in the 60th minute were the players rocking the back of the nets for Eagles as they stormed back in style to erase a two-goal deficit in the first half to snatch full points.
Home team Uitvlugt, backed by their fans, had felt that they were somewhat comfortable after running away 2-0 leaders through goals from Malcolm Dainty in the 2nd minute and Travis Fraser in the 14th minute.
The first half comfort for the Warriors was however cut short in 41 minutes when Eagles fired in the first of three unanswered goals. Hurry-ATE had previously won the first match of this second phase via the walk over route from Pouderoyen FC, which failed to show up.
