IT WAS a night of upsets when the 2017 Limacol round-robin knock-out football tournament rolled into Victoria on Sunday night with both underdog teams Mahaica Determinators and Ann’s Grove winning their respective games.In the opening fixture, Delroy Dean netted the first hat-trick of the tournament, single-handedly taking his side past the Riddim Squad side who could net only one.
Following Riddim Squad’s 5th minute strike from Rolex Scott, the game seemed to be going to script with the sprinkling of chances from the opposition as the half wore on.
However, on the resumption the Mahaica side showed their determination to pursue an upset win in front of their home fans, and that they did.
It started as early as the 69th minute with Dean slamming his shot into the net before converting a penalty to add another to the tally on the night.

He was in the money when a long-range shot was parried by the Riddim Squad goalkeeper and into his path which he carefully converted and sent the East Coast crowd into frenzy.
In the second game of the evening, Pouderoyen did not have enough in the tank to get past the Ann’s Grove side as they lost 2-1.
The East Coast side opened the scoring in the seventh minute when a beautiful ball into the area was lobbed over the goalkeeper by Maxton Adams.
The West Bank side, however, did not go down without a fight as Quessey Alleyne brought the game level in the 35th minute.
And it seemed heading for a tame draw before Ryan Sears’ whistle-beater on the 90th minute left the crowd with a night of celebration.
With the win, Ann’s Grove moved to the top of Group C with Den Amstel second, Santos third and Pouderoyen fourth.
In the Group D, the Mahaica side have assumed the lead of Group D by virtue of a positive two-goal difference to Police’s +1 while Camptown and Riddim Squad have one point each.
Matches continue tomorrow at the GFC with Northern Rangers and Grove Hi-Tech from 18:30hrs and Western Tigers against Uitvlugt from 20:00hrs.
