EAGLES United soared to an upset 2-0 win over one of the tournament favourites, Uitvlugt Warriors, when play in the Trophy Stall-sponsored West Demerara Football Association Under-17 League continued last Saturday at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground. Uitvlugt, coming off of a huge 8-1 whipping of Young Achievers the previous Saturday, found it very difficult to find goal-scoring range as their neighbours, Eagles of Stewartville, stole the show on the day and in the process recorded their second win in as many matches following their 1-0 triumph against Bagotville/Nismes on the opening day.
Eagles never allowed Uitvlugt to settle into a rhythm, Stephan Griffith nailing the first goal for Eagles in the 10th minute. Uitvlugt did put up a high level of resistance as the confident Eagles line-up kept going at their opponents.
With eight minutes remaining on the clock, the Stewartville-based teenagers sealed the deal with Mervin Frank touching in a fine effort, sealing full points and taking Eagles to the top of the table on 6 points, to maintain their unblemished record, two wins from as many matches.
Action will continue on Saturday at the same venue.
