AX Galaxy win inaugural female football championship on penalty kicks

A SPIRITED and enduring performance from the AX Galaxy Football Club saw them overcome their more seasoned counterparts, Rivers View, in the final of the inaugural Bartica Easter Regatta football competition on Holy Saturday night at the Bartica Community Centre ground.
AX Galaxy and Rivers View both put on a spirited show for their supporters and fans and the many dignitaries who were on hand to witness the action.
At the end of regulation time, the score was tied at 0-0 as neither team could have broken down the other’s defence in this championship clash. Then, it was down to kicks from the penalty mark where AX Galaxy prevailed 3-2 over Rivers View.
Both teams were rewarded with cash and trophies for their efforts in the tournament that was organised by the Bartica Football Association (BFA) in conjunction with the Easter Regatta Committee.
