East Coast and Georgetown still rule

By Calvin Chapman
EAST COAST and Georgetown both notched wins during yesterday’s play at the National Training Center, Providence, in the Tiger Rentals Guyana-sponsored Guyana Football Federation (GFF) under-13 development inter-association league.

The lads from the East Coast Football Association remained top of the points table with a better goal difference than Georgetown thanks to Mark Glasgow’s late winner that allowed them to needle the resilient Upper Demerara side.

Meanwhile, Vurlon Mills oversaw Georgetown’s narrow 2-1 win over the highflying Bartica, who won their previous three matches. Justin Tenpow drew blood first for the eventual winners in the 12th minute before Riley Tracey equalised for Bartica in the 20th minute. However, Joshawn Haynes’ second-half strike was enough to give Georgetown three points.

West Demerara and East Berbice shared a point each after their match drew 2-2. Keon Grant (West Demerara) and Xavier Andrews (Berbice) each netted a brace in the exciting clash.

In the fourth and final game of the day, East Bank gained a commanding 3-0 win over West Berbice. The EBFA had three different goal-scorers in that win: Emmanuel Francois (48th minute), Michael Correa (50th minute) and Jadon Tashem (58th minute).
