… Mahaica/Mahaicony through to next round

GOLDEN Jaguars forward Omari Glasgow had an impressive performance on Thursday evening, helping his Beterverwagting/Buxton side thump East Ruimveldt 3-1 when the One Guyana President’s Cup Football tournament continued at Buxton Community Centre ground.

Two matches marked the second-night action in Region Four. The opening game saw Mahaica/Mahaicony whip the combined side of Mocha/Agricola/Herstelling 5-0.

Watched by an enthused crowd, Glasgow was the centre of attention in the match for BV/Buxton with many wanting to see the country’s hottest young talent in action since it was his first game in Guyana since his return from his first season with Major League Soccer (MLS) side, Chicago Fire, in the MLS NextPro League.

Glasgow did not disappoint. He played a pivotal role in each of his side’s goal on the night.
Nakhalya Jervis broke the deadlock in the first half, hitting home his effort in the 41st minute to give BV/Buxton a 1-0 cushion heading into the second stanza.
Glasgow made it 2-0 in the 50th minute, while Jamar Horrigan connected in the 60th minute.

With the game already out of reach, Dwayne Kellman (70th) scored East Ruimveldt’s lone goal in the encounter.
Meanwhile, Julius Hamilton had a hat-trick (42nd, 52nd, 65th) for Mahaica/Mahaicony in the one-sided opening game.

Ron Abel (22nd) and Trevon Adams (26th) were the other scorers in their side’s 5-0 victory over Mocha/Agricola/Herstelling.
The win for Mahaica/Mahaicony and BV/Buxton will see them face each other in the second match of the quarter-finals next Thursday, November 24 at the Georgetown Football Club ground.
The opening game will bring together Grove/Diamond/Samatta Point and West Ruimveldt/Albouystown.

Meanwhile, matches in Region Four will move to Guyana Football Federation (GFF) National Training Centre on Sunday, November 21.
