Ann’s Grove and Den Amstel both got a sweet taste of victory on Sunday evening when they outplayed New Amsterdam United and Milerock Football Clubs in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League III.
The Den Amstel Ground was the venue for upsets as the home side treated their supporters to a 4-0 whipping of the Linden-based side.
Den Amstel FC went ahead in the 14th minute when Delon Lanferman scored, but then Jamal Pereira doubled the lead in the 35th minute.
Ann’s Grove scorers: Dwight Peters, Maxton Adams and William Europe
Already comfortably ahead, Gideon Payne made his presence felt for Den Amstel with a second half brace. He scored in the 51st and 68th minutes to put the victory beyond doubt.
In the other match of the double header, Ann’s Grove got sight of that long overdue win in the league as they inflicted a 5-2 drilling of the Berbician side.
Quincy Barry drew first blood in the eighth minute for the eventual victors, but Leonardo Adams equalised two minutes later. NA United briefly went ahead on the score sheet with Jamal Butts’ 39th minute goal, but William Europe pulled it level once again.
A goal by Dwight Peters, who led the charge for Ann’s Grove with a double, in the third minute of injury and stoppage time of the first half regained the lead for his side.
Maxton Adams accounted for the other Ann’s Grove goal as the side finished comfortably on Sunday in a tournament that they definitely have mixed emotions about.
Action continues on Friday at Camp Ayanganna Ground with an Inter Academy Match up, then the Guyana Defence Force take on Ann’s Grove, commencing at 18:00h.
