Kaieteur Sports – Former Champions Beacons FC won for a sixth time while defending champions Rivers View suffered a 2nd defeat when the Senior Men’s League of the Bartica FA continued last Wednesday night at the Bartica Community Centre ground.
Led by a 2nd hat-trick of the season from Shaquille Hopkinson, Beacons brushed aside Mil Ballers 4-1 to remain the only unbeaten side at the end of the first round of matches in the 9-team League.
Hopkinson netted in the 2nd, 22nd and 40th minutes to push his tally to eight and Kyle Caesar added the fourth, one minute into the 2nd period. Kishon Tobin reduced the lead in the 66th minute.
At the completion of their quota of games Beacons have six wins and 2 draws to top the table on 20 points, while Ballers lost for the 7th time to stay 2nd from the bottom on 3 points.
In the other match of the double-header, cup holders Rivers View were outlasted by Rising Stars, thanks to a 61st minute strike by Tyrese Gomes. It was the 4th win for the Stars who occupy 4th place on 14 points, while Rivers View are kept on 18 points and one place above.
The start of the 2nd round of competition will be next Monday.
