Women’s Division One League…

THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) Women and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Women walked away from the Guyana Football Federation’s National Training Centre (NTC), at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) with enough goals to fill their pockets; both romping to dominant victories during the recent installment of the Women’s Division One League.

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) were the first to taste victory on Wednesday evening, defeating Monedderlust FC 18- 0 on the back of a Shanic Thornhill show.

Thornhill found the back of the net in the 3^rd, 14^th, 21^st, 24^th, 29^th, 31^st, 46^th, 47^th, 50^th, 59^th, 54^th and 60^th minutes for an impressive 12 goals in the encounter. Aside from Thornhill’s brilliance, Collette Rutherford (4^th) Martha Chance (7^th), Alleia Alleyne (20^th), Amanda McKenzie (27^th) and Melina Larson (58^th) all found the back of the net once for Police. With an own goal in the 52^nd to add as the cherry on top, Police secured what was then the largest win of the tournament.

That was until the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ladies took to the pitch, taking on Rivers’ View Football Club.

This time around, Sandra Johnson was the leading lady in the scoring spree netting 8 goals while Johnson pierced the nets in the 6^th, 11^th, 27^th, 32^nd, 52^nd, 54^th, 57^th and 59^th minutes; Jalade Trim boosted GDF’s tally with 6 goals of her own in the 18^th, 31^st, 47^th, 37^th, 49^th and 51^st minutes.

Glendy Lewis also had a good outing with 4 goals in the 7^th, 8^th 25^th and 32^nd minutes, added to one a piece off the boots of Rosa Ross (42^nd) and Shenessa Cornelius (56^th) for a 20-0 victory on GDF’s part.

The Women’s Division One League continues today with another doubleheader at the same venue. At 18:00 hours, Santos FC will face the uphill task of taking on the GDF women while at 19:30 hours Monedderlust FC will look to bounce back in their battle against Ann’s Grove FC.
