… Young Achievers move to third with 2-1 win against Beavers

DEN AMSTEL clawed their way back to the top of the points standings of the Guyana Football Federation/West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) Senior League with a 2-0 win over Wales United, while Young Achievers edged Beavers 2-1 to jump one place higher when action in the league continued over the weekend at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground.Gavin Graham was first to mark his name in the referee’s scorecard in his team’s (Den Amstel) victory over Wales United, as he netted the opening goal in the 16th minute before Morris Charles sealed the issue with a 76th minute goal.
The win for Den Amstel propels them back to the top of the points standings with 22 points from seven victories and one draw in eight matches. They have so far scored 20 goals and conceded eight for a plus 12 goal difference.
Wales United, on the other hand, remain in seventh place with eight points from two wins, six losses and two draws with a goal difference of minus eight.
Despite Den Amstel returning to the top of the points table, they will have to be wary of Uitvlugt who are currently placed second with 19 points from seven matches after winning six matches and drawing the other, and have a goal difference of plus 22.
