Haynes and Lewis Winners Connection with six points after two wins, are likely to face an uphill task when they clash with Net Rockers at 18.00hrs in their final group game of the Upper Demerara Football Association’s (UDFA) ‘Road to Elite League’ tournament which concludes tonight (Sunday).

That game will be followed with Botafago facing Topp XX from 20.00hrs at the Wisburg Secondary School ground.
Last Sunday Nicholas Gentle with a brace in the 7th and 52nd minutes and one each from Malachi Todd (52nd minute) and David Fiedtkou in the 84th minute accounted for the win by Winners Connection which denied the individual effort by Devon Adams who netted a hat-trick for Topp XX netting in the 14th, 28th and 48th minutes of play as they lost 4-3.

In the other game, Botafago, through a single strike by Omar Brewley in the 9th minute, edged past Net Rockers by a 1-0 margin.
A win or drawn tonight will result with Haynes and Winners Connection ending on either nine or seven points and in an unassailable position.

Winners Connection ‘s opponents tonight, Net Rockers, have one draw and one loss for one point. Botafago, who face Topp XX, are one three points from one win and one loss and a win tonight would see them have six points. As such they cannot afford to draw or lose and hope that Winners Connection lose to stand a chance of ending on similar points and challenge for the top position based on goal difference.

The four clubs have played two of their three games in the round robin tournament specially arranged by the UDFA to arrive at a club from Linden to play in the tournament to be arranged by the Guyana Football Federation to have a club qualify for the National Club championship known as the Elite League.

In the first set of results one month ago, Winners Connection defeated Botafago 2-1 and Net Rockers and Topp XX played to a nil all draw.

The second round resulted in Botafago defeating Net Rockers 1-0 and Winners Connection overcoming Topp XX by a 4-3 score-line.

This evening’s final set of matches will see Winners Connection face Net Rockers from 18.00hrs and Topp XX and Botafago match skills from 20.00hrs. (Joe Chapman)
