Namilco Thunderbolt ‘Flour Power’ U-17 football…

Last weekend, the East Demerara Football Association (EDFA) and Berbice Football Association (BFA) began intra-association play in the Namilco ‘Flour Power’ sponsored under-17 development football programme.

The EDFA opening day, last Saturday, featured a double-header at the Buxton Community Centre ground with Mahaica FC going down to Victoria Kings FC 3-1 while Melanie FC needled BV Triumph FC thanks to a 31st minute strike from Kelton Croal.

Play continued in the EDFA with another double-header, on Sunday last, featuring Haslington FC versus Ann’s Grove FC and Dynamics FC matching skills with Buxton Stars FC. Goals from Akin Baynes in the 10th minute and Isiah Alphonso in the 29th was enough to help Haslington to a 2-1 win. Meanwhile, Deshawn McPherson’s solitary strike was pivotal in the homeside Buxton 1-0 win.

Action in Berbice began on Sunday with a double-header at the Rosignol ground.

The homeside dominated Ithaca in the opening match with a 12-2 drubbing that was spearheaded by Luke Langevine with four goals and Harman Winston who bagged a hat-trick.

In the second match, New Amsterdam United made very light work of the Paradise Invaders with a 5-0 win.
