THE Guyana Police Force continued their community development drive with an Under-15 football tournament between the ‘A’ and ‘E’ Division sides last Sunday.

The youthful Georgetown-based side, before their departure to the mining town, were given a rousing speech by ‘A’ Division Commander Clifton Hicken, who encouraged the them to put their best foot forward and display a high level of discipline.
The game opened with an energetic display from both sides. However, the ‘A’ Division Commander’s Rising Star XI broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute of the game thanks to Joshua McAdam.
The Wismar Valley side could not find the equaliser at the end of the first half after several chances. Nonetheless, a revitalised second-half performance from the hosts saw the conversion of a chance into the nets which brought the game level again. After numerous failed chances by both sides, the game ended 1-1.
The Commander of ‘E’ Division, Senior Superintendent Mr Brutus, praised the youths for their dedication to the sport and urged them to take the opportunity being given by the Guyana Police Force to mould themselves into role models for the younger generation to emulate.
