Topp XX, Milerock register victories
SUNBURST Camptown, Seawall FC, Bakewell Topp XX and Milerock all registered victories when play in the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) Super League continued on Sunday with five matches at four venues.

Playing at the world famous GCC ground, Sunburst Camptown inflicted a 2-0 margin of victory over their Georgetown counterparts GDF, while the West Demerara side Seawall United recorded a similar margin of victory over their East Demerara counterparts Victoria Kings at the Plaisance ground.

Topp XX of Linden beat Rosignol United of West Berbice by a 3-1 margin at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground and Milerock, also of Linden, edged Liquid Gold of Bartica 1-0 at the Bartica Community Centre ground.

Also playing at the GCC ground on Sunday evening was Georgetown Football Association’s (GFA) defending Premier League champions Alpha `The Hammer’ United who were held to a 2-2 draw by East Demerara’s Buxton United.

In the feature match of a double- header card at the GCC ground, Nigel `Powers’ Codrington and Kwame LaFleur netted Sunburst Camptown’s two goals in the 26th and 41st minutes respectively.

In the opening match, a Gordon Henry 36th minute goal and another from Howard Lowe accounted for Alpha United’s two goals against Buxton United who replied with two goals of their own off the boots of Jamal Phyll and Clive Andries in the 63rd and 75th minutes respectively.

At the Plaisance ground, Clement Brown registered a double for the eventual winners (Seawall FC) in the 67th and 9th minutes in their 2-0 win against Victoria Kings.

Up at the Bartica Community centre ground, Linden’s Milerock recorded a 1-0 win against the home side Liquid Gold with the winning goal coming off the boot of Jermaine Mc Bean in the 80th minute.

At the Mackenzie Sports Club ground, Bakewell Topp XX beat Rosignol United 3-1 to record their first victory from two matches.

The former five-time Kashif and Shanghai champions lost their opening match against Liquid Gold by a 0-1 margin.

In the feature game at the GCC ground on Sunday evening, GDF started off in an attacking mode while Sunburst Camptown kept their composure, but launched several counter-attacks.

The soldiers who are pointless after two matches had several goal scoring opportunities but failed to convert them, as Sunburst Camptown’s stout defence stood up to the test. The team’s offensive players converted the two easy opportunities that were presented to them.

The team coached by its president Troy Mendonca was awarded a corner kick that was taken by Codrington from the right corner and he (Codrington) executed a swerving cross with the inside of his right boot that sent the ball into the centre of the opposition’s goal, over the head of GDF’s custodian and his team’s packed defence.

Fifteen minutes later, Codrington made a set play that saw LaFleur latching on to the ball and finished with a clinical shot that had goal written all over it from the time the ball left his boot.

The victory for Camptown earned them three points, taking them to four points after three games.

They lost their opening fixture 1-3 to Alpha United and were subsequently held to a 1-1 draw by Milerock.

To date the team has scored four goals and conceded two.

GDF on the other hand is yet to find their target while conceding three goals in two matches.

Prior to Sunday night’s 0-2 defeat, the Army team lost by a 0-1 margin to Victoria Kings.

Despite the 1-3 loss to Topp XX, West Berbice’s continue to head the points standing with six points from three matches. They won their first two before losing on Sunday evening.

In their opening game, they edged Victoria Kings 2-1 then went on to defeat Buxton United 2-0.

To date the team has scored five goals and conceded four.

Alpha United is second in the points standing with five points from one win and two drawn matches. They have so far scored six goals and conceded four.

Camptown to date has scored four goals and conceded two for four points.

Also on four points is Milerock with one victory and a draw. They have so far recorded two goals and conceded one.

Victoria Kings have three points from a win and two losses. Also on three points are Topp XX and Liquid Gold with one victory and one loss each, but Topp XX has three goals to their credit while Liquid Goal has one.

Sitting at the bottom of the points table is the pointless GDF who scored three goals in their two losses while conceding a similar amount.
