IN 1980, the British Rock Band ‘Queen’ released one of their biggest singles, ‘Another one bites the dust’. The song, even 35 years later, is played as theme song for the most upsetting moments in sports. Last Saturday at the Georgetown Football Club FC) Ground, Ann’s Grove FC and their supporters sang the versus of Queen’s hit loudly when they created one of, if not the biggest upsets in this year’s Mayor’s Cup football tournament.

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF), one of the better teams in Georgetown, fell 4-3 to Ann’s Grove in a jaw-dropping upset, while Slingerz FC, the finalists of the previous tournament, made light work of Mahaica Determinators, winning 2-0.
The loss for the Army came as they prepare to compete in this year’s Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Championship and had wanted to use the tournament as part of their preparation but apparently, had no idea that the East Coast Demerara-based club had a plan of their own.
Meanwhile, the star-studded Slingerz FC unit saw debutant, Dominica national striker Julian Wade leave a mark in his first competitive game in Guyana.
Wade, along with National player Vurlon Mills, was on target for the ‘West Side’ team who will now move on to play Golden Grove in the quarterfinals on Friday, February 13 while Agricola Red Triangle will tackle Ann’s Grove.
