Bartica Easter Regatta 2023: ExxonMobil Football Cup: Middle Mazaruni Warriors squeeze past Eteringbang to lift trophy

Dorwin George’s 53rd-minute goal, along with airtight goalkeeping from the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, Joel Yhap, delivered the Championship Trophy and prize to Middle Mazaruni Warriors in the final of the ExxonMobil-sponsored Bartica Easter Regatta Football Cup.
In a riveting contest last Thursday evening at the Bartica Community Centre Ground, Middle Mazaruni Warriors and Eterinbang served up a memorable final that was witnessed by a large and appreciative crowd. The exchanges were end-to-end, and the respective goalkeepers held things scoreless by some good defensive work at both ends.
However, a 53rd minute strike from the crafty and alert Dorwin George proved to be the crucial difference, as Eteringbang, for all their effort, could not respond in like manner.

Yhap was excellent between the uprights throughout the competition, and was rewarded with the MVP Trophy for his efforts.
The third-place clash between losing semi-finalists Rivers View and A.K Galaxy produced a comfortable 5-2 win for Rivers View – led by a hat-trick from Antonio Jones and one goal each from Andel Norton and Andrew Simmonds. Getting on to the score sheets for A.K Galaxy were Esteban Martins and Sheldon Parris.
Meanwhile, in the female supporting match, Rivers View edged Potaro Strikers by two goals to one.
