GUYANA Defence Force (GDF) Football Club Women and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Women, by now the usual suspects, were the ones to register wins on Wednesday evening when the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Women’s Division One League resumed.
The action at the GFF’s National Training Centre (NTC) at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) began with a clash between Police and Fruta Conquerors’ Women.
Fruta Conquerors held firm in the initial minutes, but the cheekiest of goals, a shot which slipped out of the keeper’s hands on the gather, gave Police their first strike, and the law women never looked back.
Shanic Thornhill was responsible for the first strike in the 9th, while Lakeisha Pearson’s shot from outside the box found the back of the net in the 26th minute. Another shot from far out saw Tiandi Smith adding her name to the scoresheet in the 28th for Police’s 3-0 lead at the half.
Thornhill opened the second segment with a 42nd minute strike, while Amanda McKenzie and S. Adams netted in the 44th and 60th minutes, respectively, for Police’s 6-0 win.
Then, GDF’s Women continued to keep their winning margin in the teens, this time with a 16-0 assault of Western Tigers. Similarly to Fruta Conquerors, Western Tigers started strong, but it all went to dust when Abioce Heywood sneaked one past the keeper in the 9th minute to break the ice for GDF.
Heywood completed her brace in the 21st , while Zoruna Ali registered a helmet trick in the 43rd, 46th, 49th and 51st minutes, accompanied by Glendy Lewis’ hattrick in the 11th, 17th and 23rd minutes.
Braces came off the boots of Sandra Johnson (30th, 39th), Sarena Johnson (47th, 48th) and Jalade Trim (55th, 59th) while Niomie Williams’ lone strike in the 21st brought their tally up to 16.
The Women’s Division One League action will continue this evening, Friday, October 3, at the same venue, staging another double feature. There, Santos FC will take on Ann’s Grove United from 18:00hrs, while Rivers’ View battles Mainstay Goldstars FC, beginning at 19:30hrs.
