AMELIA’S Ward Panthers whipped Topp XX 3-0 when the Upper Demerara Football Association-organised Osmond Cummings memorial Under-20 football championship continued last Saturday at the Bayrock Community Centre ground.

Playing in the first game of a scheduled double-header Kevin Gittens scored in the second half (48th) to give his team a 1-0 lead. Another goal came off the boot of Nathan Kennard (78th) which ensured full points for the Panthers.

The 2-0 advantage was then increased through Gittens who netted two minutes later for an 80th minute strike which effectively closed out the result of this game in favour of the Panthers, giving them a 3-0 victory.
The other scheduled game did not come off as Blueberry Hill United again failed to show up, this time against Silver Shattas.

The double-header, which was set for the following day between Milerock and Botofago in one game and Eagles United and Hi Stars, did not come off due to the inclement weather.
The competition continues this Saturday and Sunday weather permitting.

This championship is sponsored by United States-based former national player Nigel ‘Mice’ Cummings, brother of the late Osmond Cummings in whose honour this tournament is being played.
