Frank Watson Memorial Football GFC, Western Tigers, Santos, Black Water and Black Pearl advance

THE Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground was once again the hub of activity as action continued in the 2015 Frank Watson Memorial football tournament, with wins for Western Tigers, Santos and Black Pearl, along with the home side. While the Under-15s featured on the opening day of the knock-out tournament, the Under-17 players took to the pitch, yesterday,

Playing against Flamingo, the home side GFC won 3-1, thanks to goals from David Coates and Matthew Harrison in the 23rd and 25th minute respectively, while an own goal in the 12th minute helped in the final score. Darrell Qualis’ goal in the 13th minute was all the losers had to cheer about.
Orin Osborne’s 26th minute goal was enough to see Western Tigers past Riddim Squad while Santos FC depended on penalty kicks to get past Renaissance.
The two sides ended regulation goalless, but Santos eventually won 7-6 in the penalty shootout which went down to sudden-death kicks.
Houston Stars were a ‘no-show’ for their clash against Black Water who won by default and Black Pearl defeated Sunburst Camptown 1-0.
After the weekend, both GFC and Santos saw their Under-15 & U-17 units advance while Renaissance were not so lucky as their teams made their exits.
