Corriverton Links FC whip Young Strikers FC 5-1
… Monedderlust FC win 3-0

By: Colin Bynoe Jr.

CORRIVERTON Links and Monedderlust Football clubs registered victories last Sunday when play in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)/NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power Under-17 League continued at the Burhnam Park and No.5 grounds respectively.
In very soggy conditions at Burnham Park, Corriverton Links defeated a spirited Young Strikers unit, who squandered many opportunities. Alex Pertab of Corriverton FC was in a goal-scoring mood. He opened his team’s account in the 2nd minute, with a target shot that flew to the back of the opposition’s net.

It took a breakaway play from Oshea Leitch in the 25th minute but Corriverton FC goalkeeper made a mess of a shot that went straight to him. As a result, Leitch capitalised to pierce the net on his second attempt, which resulted in a goal for Young Strikers.
Shaundy Ryan Grimes increased his team’s advantage in the 31st minute. By halftime the players were all visibly muddy.

Seven minutes into the second half, Alex Pertab was once again on target with a scintillating header coming from a perfectly placed corner kick in the 47th minute to put his team in a commanding 3-1 lead.
Young Strikers never threatened in the second half, as two more goals were added, compliments of Pertab. This third goal of the match was scored in the 77th, minute and Grimes scored his second in the 78th minute.

Over on the West Coast of Berbice at the No.5 ground, Monedderlust FC recorded a 3-0 victory over Hopetown United Rangers FC. The goals for the victorious Monedderlust FC came from Daniel La Rose and Brentnol Frank.
Action in the Berbice leg of the competition continues next Sunday, weather permitting.
