….Grove stun Santos 

TUESDAY evening’s matches in the Turbo Knockout football tournament featured a number of upsets as major Georgetown teams were dumped from the tournament.
The first to go was Georgetown Football Club (GFC), who went down 5-2 to Linden’s Silver Shattas under drizzles at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
The Georgetown-based side took the lead from the 8th minute with Jermain Padmore’s strike and then doubled it up through Curtis Kellman in the 27th as they looked in top form.

However, Robin Adams of Silver Shattas was not going to let those two goals go unanswered, as he slotted home his first goal of the tournament in the 43rd.
After the break, a renewed Silver Shattas took to the field and their style of play was more forward.

They were rewarded with an equaliser through Dexter Garraway in the 58th and then finally took the lead through the same scorer in the 67th.
The Linden-based side then capitalised on GFC’s hunt for an equalising goal to score two more; both from Damion Williams in the 78th and 85th.
In the second game, Grove Hi-Tech disposed of Santos FC 5-3.
Two quick fire goals inside the first 10 minutes from the East Bank-based side through Joel Dick (7th) and Lloyd Matthews, ensured that their Georgetown opponents were immediately on the back foot.

Dick returned in the 11th to score a third in a firecracker of a start for the Grove side with Santos finally responding in the 21st through Orin Yard.
Santos seemed on the path of a comeback when a second goal was scored through Keith Caines (31st) before Domini Garnett slotted home Grove’s fourth in the 40th minute.
On the return from half time, Lionel Holder would become Santos third scorer in the 74th as they again tried the comeback route but Garnett again spoiled their show in the 90th.
Matches continue today with Uitvlugt vs Kuru Kuru and Riddim Squad playing Pouderoyen.
