… drub Scotsburg 5-0
NEW Amsterdam United drubbed Scotsburg 5-0 to seal championship honours in the Berbice Football Association/Coca Cola Senior League which continued last weekend at the Scotsburg ground.

Adrian `Garnett’ Adams was in a destructive mood, finding the back of the opposition’s net in the 10th, 30th and 60th minutes, while his sibling Leonardo was on target in the 47th minute and Kelvin Joseph in the 87th minute .

Adams’ treble takes his personal tally of goals to 18, while the win for New Amsterdam United takes them to the top of the points standing with 25 points from their tally of nine matches.

The team won eight of their matches while drawing the other.

New Amsterdam United’s have now added the Coca Cola title to the Cheddi B. Jagan Memorial Knock-Out title which they won recently.

Real Union and Cougars FC are currently tied for second place with 18 points each.

However, Real Union have completed all nine of their matches with six wins and three losses while Cougars still have two matches to play, one against Strike Force and the other against Scotsburg.

Cougars have won six of their matches to date and lost the other.

A win or a draw in any of their two remaining matches will assure them of the runner-up spot.

Also in winners’ row over the weekend were Mahaicony United who came from one goal down to beat Strike Force 3-1 at the Mahaicony ground after trailing 0-1 at the interval.

Leroy Halley scored a double for Mahaicony United in the 65th and 76th minutes while his team mate Carl Fraser netted the other goal in the 62nd minute.

Strike Force had drawn first blood with a Lynton McKay 25th minute goal.
The competition will continue this weekend.
