… Tiger Bay sent packing by Charlestown

FORMER powerhouse of Inter-ward football Alberttown/Bourda got a shocker in their Grassroots Foundation Inter-ward knockout tournament last Tuesday night at the Georgetown Football Club ground, courtesy of Mocha Champs who won the contest by a 4-2 margin.On the same night, Tiger Bay, known mostly for their Futsal triumphs, were given marching orders out of the tournament by Charlestown, who struck home a double.
Mocha took the early lead in the 5th minute, through a Steffon Ramsay header but five minutes later, Alberttown/Bourda snared the equaliser, when Calvin Shepherd found the back of the net easily, after Mocha Champs custodian failed to gather the ball.
Teon Jones, who, like Ramsay, is known for his goal-scoring feats for the East Bank side, ensured he did not disappoint the fans by finding the back of the net in the 24th minute, following which Dwayne O’reilly knocked the wind out of Alberttown/Bourda’s sails, with his 63rd minute goal.
Despite such, Alberttown/Bourda made it a one-possession contest, when Shepherd found the back of the net in the 78th minute with a finish in the right hand corner; but not to be outdone and proving that they were looking to create the upset, Mocha Champs did just that, thanks to Jones’ 84th minute goal.
In the second matchup of the double-header, Cozier scored in the 5th and 78th minutes of play for Charlestown, whose other goal came off the boot of Leon Yaw in the 20th minute, as they won the contest 3-1, with Joel Barnes scoring Tiger Bay’s lone goal in the 56th minute.
