CITY side SunBurst Camptown FC will be aiming to make it two from as many when their tour of Bartica concludes tonight at the Bartica Community Centre ground.
The Campbellville-based unit would have to improve on their opening game’s performance last Saturday, which they won 1-0 against Mel Ballers, if they hope to get past Bartica’s top team Beacon FC. The less fancied Ballers were unfortunate not to come away with a deserved draw after Amlee Martindale muffed a Penalty 10 minutes from the end to level the score.
Earlier midfielder Anthony ‘Kong’ Sancho gave Camptown the lead which proved to be the decisive factor at the final whistle.
Camptown’s player/coach, Troy ‘Bugs’ Prescod in an invited comment, said “Tonight’s game (March 17) against Beacon will be a good one.
Against Ballers we were up against worthy opponents and failed to put away our chances we created but tonight it will be a different ball game.
Both sides are technically sound, but we are confident of victory. It is a good opportunity for the young talents we have to prove their worth. I think fans are in for a quality match so I urge fans to come out and support and don’t miss this opportunity”.
Beacon hammered Potaro Strikers 4-1 on Saturday and will be looking to their goal scoring quartet to continue from where they left off going into tonight’s big clash.
On target for Beacon were Keno Washington, Cleon Adams and the Welcome brothers – Kurt and Whitney. The main support for Bartica’s top side will be, Clint Kellman, Ryan Andries and the inspirational captain and goalkeeper, Kwesi Jacobs.
Camptown’s challenge will be led by midfield captain Jamal Codrington alongside, the experienced Prescod and the youthful and talented Sancho. Roshan Sandiford will marshall the defence and Devon Forde will be the main attacking force.
Preceding the 20.00hrs kick-off will be a battle between Mel Ballers and Potaro Strikers. The quadrangular Tournament is mainly sponsored by Sky Launch Restaurant & Bar and organised by the ‘I’ Movement Promotions.
