– UDFA/ Banks DIH year ending Christmas futsal championship reaches knockout stage

Kaieteur Sports – The teams with unblemished records, defending champions Silver Shattas, Winners Connection, Capital FC and Milerock are through to the quarterfinals after preliminary round play ended on Sunday in the Upper Demerara Football Association/ Banks DIH year ending Christmas futsal tournament in Linden.

Playing at the tournament venue in Retrieve in Linden, the defending champions Silver Shattas topped Group A with seven points, despite being level on similar points with Topp XX, after both sides got two wins and a draw; but goal difference went in favour of Silver Shattas.

In their final round robin match against Group A rivals Hi Stars, Shattas, who had a 3-3 stalemate with Topp XX, won 4-3 with Damian Williams getting two goals and Jehu Regis and Omar Brewley knocking in the other goals.

Hi Stars goals were registered by Jermaine King, Clinton Charles and Shemain Samuels.

On the night also in Group A, Topp XX gained victory via the walkover route, for their second win, following a no-show by Amelia’s Ward Panthers.

In a Group B encounter, Capital FC rebounded from a goal down to whip Blueberry Hill 3-1, with Emmanuel Atkins leading their charge with a brace, and the other goal registered by Mortimer Giddings Jr.

Shaka Lewis Cedric had given hopes for Blueberry Hill, when he netted the opening goal of the game.

It was Capital FC’s third win in as many matches for nine points, but Blueberry Hill still advanced with six points from two wins and a loss.

Milerock, playing with just two other teams in Group D, pounded their way to a 7-1 drubbing of Rockstone, with Mark Fredericks slamming home a hat-trick, while Tyrese Lewis hit in two, and Roshan Kitt and Alleyne McAulley the other two goals.

Elon Simon was the lone scorer for Rockstone who were eliminated, as they were previously beaten by Botafago, who joined Milerock as Group D qualifiers.

From Group C, Winners Connection with three wins for nine points, topped the chart after beating FC YMCA 1-0, with the decider coming off the boot of Cedric Hunte.

But FC YMCA is the other team to move on after they ended on six points with two wins and a loss.

Other results from Sunday were, Fearless getting a win after Coomacka did not show, and no points were awarded after both Net Rockers and Eagles United failed to turn up for their Group C fixture.

The quarterfinals will be played on Boxing Night at the Community Hard Court in Retrieve, Linden.
