MCYS/East Bank Inter Village Football Tournament… Swan beat Herstelling, Upper Soesdyke needle Circuitville
Kaieteur Sports – When day three action of the East Bank Inter Village Football tournament organised by Sports Extra unfolded at the Eccles EE Ground on Saturday evening, Upper Soesdyke needled Circuitville whilst Swan upstaged Herstelling, 4-1.
Swan’s win over Herstelling who won their opening match Against Lower Soesdyke has left Group B interestingly poised as a win for Lower Soesdyke in their final game against Sawn would mean that goal difference will decide which two villages advance to the quarterfinals.

A fit looking Swan unit was led to their win by Abraham Webb who netted a first half double that effectively knocked the wind out of the sails of Herstelling. Webb was on target in the 12th and 33rd minute. The opening goal was scored by Timothy Adrian in the 8th minute.
Herstelling found it difficult to contain the Soesdyke Linden Highway based village and did not help themselves when Orlando Dickie was red carded in only the 12th minute which placed then under pressure.
Swan further increased their lead in the 46th minute when Devon Lonke found the back of the nets and despite Herstelling pulling one back in the 50th minute through a Malcolm Hendricks goal, the task of stopping Swan was beyond them.
Circuitville, coming off a heavy 2-7 loss to Grove in their opening Group C match on the first weekend of action, looked very purposeful in their clash against Upper Soesdyke, matching them play for play for almost the entire game.
When it seemed like the game was headed for a draw, Circuitville’s goalkeeper misjudged a shot taken by Tyrone Khan in the 66th minute, it was the goal that made the difference between the two villages, earning the win for Upper Soesdyke whilst it also signaled the end of Circuitville’s campaign as they lost both their matches.

Upper Soesdyke and Grove will battle in the final group match to decide which of the two village will end as group winner, both have booked their spots in the quarter finals, the first two villages to do so.
Action will continue Sunday night with another double header, Kaneville, fresh off their upset win over Timehri will take on Friendship in their first game of the tournament from 18:00hrs with the feature showdown between Mocha also in their opening game of the tournament against Agricola who must win to remain in the tournament.
