Kaieteur Sports – An eventful evening unfolded at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) National Training Center (NTC) at Providence on Friday evening, when the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Santos Football Clubs’ Women pulled off contrasting victories in the Women’s Division One League.
GDF featured in what was an exciting resumption of the League after a week off, with an entertaining 24 – 0 drubbing of Den Amstel FC.
Niomie Williams opened the GDF’s account with a rocket shot from outside the box in the 7th minute. As one would expect, her goal opened the floodgates, even though Den Amstel’s goal keeper got her hands on quite a few saves.
Sandra Johnson (12th, 15th, 19th, 24th, 30th) and Glendy Lewis (10th, 11th, 19th, 26th) led the charge for GDF’s spree in the first half, accompanied by strikes fromAkeelahVancooten (24th, 33rd) and Glengie Lewis (29th, 31st).
In the second, the flow of goals continued with Aaliyna Christie (35th), Jalade Trim (37th, 54th, 55th), Nikita Wayne (43rd), Abioce Haywood (46th), Shenesa Cornelius (46th, 60th), Rosa Toss (50th) and Patsy Walker (56th) all adding their names to the score sheets.
The following clash between Santos and Western Tigers FC was almost evenly poised until Aleena Baptiste found the ice breaker in the 11th minute, playing through Western’s defenses to find the corner of the net.
Santos held on to their lead with solid defenses and managed to extend it through Captain Tyneshia Thorne in the 59th minute; thus securing a 2-0 victory.
The Women’s Division One League will continue this Friday, August 29 with another doubleheader at the same venue. At 18:00hrs, Den Amstel FC will take on Ann’s Grove FC while at 19:30hrs, Western Tigers battles Fruta Conquerors FC.
