UDFA/Banks DIH Year End/Christmas Futsal Day Two…
Kaieteur Sports – Silver Shattas humbled Amelia’s Ward Panthers, 11-2, and record their first outright victory, but winning their second straight matches were FC YMCA, Capital FC, Winners Connection and Blueberry Hill after second night action in this Banks DIH major sponsored, Upper Demerara Football Association run 4th annual Christmas Futsal Championship Wednesday night, at the Retrieve Hard Court in Linden.
In their Group C battle, the FC YMCA came from a 0-2 half time score to record a 3-2 win over Net Rockers. Goals banged in by Shane Luckie and Denzil Pryor before half time seemed like enough to send the YMCA to certain defeat.
