A last-gasp goal by Clarence ‘Shark’ Huggins on the 90th minute saved the night for Milerock who edged past Amelia’s Ward Panthers 2-1, while Topp XX off a 66th minute strike from Shawn ‘Dash’ Daniels secured a 1-0 win over Net Rockers when the Upper Demerara Football Association’s First Division League continued last Sunday at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground.The initiative was taken early as Milerock opened their scoring in the 2nd minute through a nice clip over an advancing Amelia’s Ward goalkeeper, by Andel Mendonca, for them to secure a 1-0 advantage at the time when the first half ended.
However, the Ward side would respond, and were rewarded ten minutes from the end of regulation play, through Nelson Walcott who shot well from just inside the 18 yards box to score for the Panthers, and levelled things.
With the game heading for a stalemate, the Milerock side on the stroke of the whistle, it seemed, from a ball sent inside and cleared only to see the head of a rising Clarence Huggins direct the ball into the back of the nets in the 90th minute and earned Milerock a 2-1 win, much to the disappointment of the Ward side.
Earlier in the evening Topp XX would come away with a 1-0 win through the in-form Shawn ‘dash’ Daniels who registered a spectacular shot that scored in the 66th minute. This was enough for the Topp XX side which came away with the scores in their favour 1-0.
The competition continues today with another double-header at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground. The first game is at 18:00 hrs between Silver Shattas and Blueberry Hill and at 20:00 hrs Winners Connection face Botafago
