Alpha United’s coach Wayne `Wiggy’ Dover has given his club an `A Plus’ rating for its performance in the round-robin segment of the Georgetown Football Association Stag Beer Futsal competition currently being played at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. 

Alpha United has played unbeaten so far in the competition and is now one of the favourites to claim the $400,000 first prize. “I am very comfortable with how we have played so far. We have scored more goals than any other team and we have had the widest margin of victory.
Taking all of this into consideration I will have to say that Alpha United is one of the favourites to win this Competition,” Dover told Chronicle Sport yesterday.
Alpha trampled Renaissance 12-1, hammered GDF 5-1 and brushed aside Beacon 4-1 in the round-robin stage to canter into the knock out stage. National Striker Dwight Peters has been Alpha’s leading marksman and is the tournament’s leading scorer with four goals to his name.
“We have been training specifically for this Futsal tournament. At present there is no other football going on. I think that we have put out a splendid performance which I’ll have to grade at `A Plus.’ We have some young players who are stepping up to the plate. In addition, the older heads such as Peters (Dwight), Ronson Williams and Daniel Wilson have been leading from the front,” Dover said.
Alpha would now turn attention to defending champions Fruta Conquerors who they will meet on Thursday in a quarter- final match up. However, the former Guyana national coach is unperturbed about what looms ahead.
“The only team that I think came close to matching our play is Western Tigers. Given the chance I would tell Fruta Conquerors that Alpha United is coming to play the same brand of football that we have been playing throughout this competition. We are going to make it tough for Conquerors and it would not be an easy night.”
