THE Old Fort men’s team continued their fine form and extended their winning streak with a 3-2 victory over Bounty GCC, as the Bounty Paper Towels second division league continued on Sunday at the St Stanislaus College ground on Carifesta Avenue.

On the distaff side, favourites Pizza Hut GCC maintained their unbeaten form in the ladies’ competition with a 6-2 victory over the Bingo Spartans.
The Bounty GCC men seemed destined for victory as their match against Old Fort got off to a feisty start, with a cracker from Shaquille Leung in the 6th minute. A penalty stroke conversion eight minutes later by Meshach Sargeant saw the Bourda boys head into the halftime break with a comfortable 2-0 lead.

Old Fort national striker Jael Gaskin came out firing on all cylinders in the second half, however, and levelled the score within 15 minutes through a pair of goals of his own.
With the match deadlocked at 2-2, the brilliance of Old Fort midfielder Omar Hopkinson was once again the deciding factor for his team. Hopkinson produced a skilful individual run to finish with a goal four minutes from full time that secured the 3-2 victory for Old Fort who now sit at the top of the men’s pool.

The Sequel was forced to work in the early stages of their match against the lively Saints U-19s. With the Sequel goalkeeper still gearing up on the sideline, crafty Saints midfielder Edmund Chinian sneaked in a goal in the opening minute to surprise last year’s winners.
The Sequel, however, soon took control of the game and emerged 3-1 winners with goals from Alan and Philip Fernandes and Damon Woodroffe.

Pizza Hut GCC were all smiles as they faced the Bingo Spartans in their ladies clash. With Pizza Hut taking the lead in the 10th minute through Vanessa Pires, they never seemed threatened.

Young striker Sarah Klautky extended her team’s lead by one with a breakaway goal in the 13th minute while team captain Carina Moller slammed home a quartet of goals to take the Pizza Hut total to 6. Macaela Harding managed a field goal in the 27th minute and Dominique DeGroot converted a penalty stroke ten minutes later for the Spartans to finish the game 6-2.

The Old Fort Shooting Stars and Woodpecker Hikers played to a nil-all draw despite several chances by both sides.
Action continues on Saturday and Sunday at the St Stanislaus College ground from 15:00hrs.
