DEN AMSTEL Football Club’s long awaited return to their home fortress in the village of Den Amstel was a resounding success as the West Coast Demerara side kicked off the second half of season 7 of the Elite League with a stunning victory over league debutant Mainstay Goldstar.
Mainstay Goldstar who entered the league this year, has had a brutal journey with double digit losses, they suffered another yet heavy defeat losing 12-1 on Sunday.
Delon Lanferman as is always the case when representing his home village was imperious as he registered four goals in a lopsided affair at the Den Amstel ground.
However, for Den Amstel it was Manuel Solomon that kicked things off with a triple.
Lanferman came to the fore with goals in the 35th, 40th and two more in first-half injury time.
His teammates Stephon Jupiter, Jomal Robinson and Jamal Petty also recorded doubles to complete the rout.
Mainstay had a consolation goal from Elvis Marvel in the dying minutes of the contest.
In another blockbuster match-up Slingerz Football Club had to settle for a draw against Western Tigers also on Sunday.
Western Tigers’ William Europe was the first to the back of the net in the 14th minute until a 31st minute strike from Darron Niles equalised the scores.
The remainder of the clash saw no more addition to the score, as it ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
