THIRTEEN goals were scored in the latest Georgetown Football Association (GFA) STAG Premier League fixture at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground, when the tournament continued on Thursday evening. In the opening game, Riddim Squad routed a hapless Beacons FC 6-1, while Sunburst Camptown and Flamingo played to an exciting 3-3 draw.
Entering the game chasing their first win of the League, Beacons FC instead encountered a goal-hungry Riddim Squad team.
Amos Ramsay (10th and 63rd minutes) and Kevin Agard (59th and 60th minutes) both netted a double for the Mocha Arcadia team, while the other two goals came off the cleats of Wendell Joseph and Sceyon Hope who scored in the seventh and 37th minutes respectively.
Beacons had lost four of their five previous outings while salvaging one draw. However, following Thursday’s results they are now the only team in the League that failed to win a game after six rounds.
Beacons’ lone goal came from Shaquille Cornwall in the 32nd minute.
Meanwhile, Camptown FC, searching for their second win, in the eight-team league, got off to a perfect start, with Richie Richards giving them the lead just eight minutes into the game, but Flamingo equalised when Orlando Ricketts put his effort at the back of the net in the 31st minute.
The first half ended with the scores level 1-1, but it was Flamingo who went ahead when Ryan October scored in the 56th minute. But Flamingo’s lead was short-lived as Rawle Adams pulled one back for Camptown three minutes later (2-2).
Not to be outdone, Flamingo once again went ahead, this time when veteran Leon Yaw scored in the 62nd minute.
Camptown, nonetheless, ten minutes later (72nd minute), equalised once again, thanks to Anthony Sancho.
Both sides had their fair share of chances to find a game winner, but failed to capitalise on their respective chances.
