Kaieteur Sports – After ten rounds of matches the top three teams in the Senior Men’s League of the Bartica FA are each separated by a point.

In Friday night’s action at the Bartica Community Centre ground, Potaro Strikers registered their 8th win in an effortless performance to put away AK Galaxy 5-1.

The team’s leading scorer Daniel Gardener converted his 2nd treble to inspire the victory with strikes in the 13th, 39th and 41 minutes. Shamar Stephen added one in the 66th minute and 4 minutes later Derron Baksh made it five. Samuel Mentore’s strike in the 46th minute was the only moment of celebration for Galaxy.

The 3 points elevated Strikers to 25 points and 2nd place in the points table while Galaxy’s 5th defeat left them in 6th position on 11 points. Unbeaten Beacons lead the table on 26 points and cup holders Rivers View are 3rd on 24 points.

The other fixture of the double-header resulted in a 2-2 tie between Lazio and Agatash United. A Javon Harris double (1′ and 22′) gave Lazio an early lead that eventually was cancelled within a minute. Dishon Stephen pulled one back after 32 minutes and immediately after Travis Hercules produced the equaliser. Lazio are kept in 7th place on 9 points from 10 matches while the one point for Agatash was their 2nd as they hold up the table on 2 points after 9 outings.
