Bartica Easter Regatta Female Football competition: AX Galaxy win inaugural championship

…outscore Rivers View United on penalty kicks

A robust performance from the AX Galaxy Football Club has seen them overcome their more seasoned counterparts, Rivers View United, in the final of the inaugural Bartica Easter Regatta Football Competition on Easter Saturday night at the Bartica Community Centre Ground.

Both teams put on a spirited show for vocal partisan supporters, football fans, and the many dignitaries who were on hand to witness the action; and at the end of regulation time, the score was tied at nil-all (0-0), as neither team was able to breach the other’s defence in this championship clash.
The action then switched to kicks from the penalty mark, and AX Galaxy prevailed 3-2 over Rivers View United.
Each team was rewarded with cash and a trophy for its efforts in the tournament, organised by the Bartica Football Association (BFA) in conjunction with the Easter Regatta Committee.
On hand to present the winning purse was Leader of the Opposition, Aubrey Norton, who congratulated the teams for their efforts.
A total of four clubs had participated in the action.
