Mahaica, GFC seal semi-final spots in Turbo competition

MAHAICA Determinators and Georgetown Football Club (GFC) are the final teams to seal semi-final spots in the second annual Turbo knockout football competition.

The two teams now complete the semi-final line-up.

In the first game, Pouderoyen battled hard in their game against eventual winners Mahaica.

The game was a tense affair from the outset and the more time went on, the tenser it got. After the first half and well into the second, several scares occurred for the east coast side but they weathered the storm.

It was the second period of extra time that yielded the result for the Mahaicans as Neil Lynton’s 110th minute strike sealed the deal.

The other game did not disappoint either. Camptown and GFC played to a 2-goal stalemate before sudden-death penalties handed the Bourda side the win.

LaVaughn Enniss opened the scoring in the 21st minute for the eventual winners and before the end of the half; Adrian Aaron restored the balance.

As the game progressed, any one goal should have sealed the game as both sides produced excellent defensive displays.

Jamal Codrington (82nd) finally pushed  Camptown ahead, but not for long, as Enniss came to the rescue again, this time with a stunner in the 86th minute.

After that, there was a tense back-and-forth penalty session with GFC winning 8-7 on sudden-death penalties.

The semi-finals are set for Sunday with Mahaica playing GFC and Northern Rangers opposng Santos.
