The closing stages of the first round of matches in the Berbice Football Association’s (BFA) Senior Men’s League (SML) continued at the Rosignol Community Center ground last Wednesday night with a solitary game on the cards.
A 31st minute strike from Carlos Ramos was the decisive factor in Cougars FC registering their 4th win in 6 games. Contrastingly, it was the 4th loss for Hopetown Rangers, who were kept in 5th place on 6 points from 6 games as well. The 3 points earned pushed Cougars into 3rd position on 12 points.
Action in the 8-team 2-round competition will move to Paradise Community Center ground on Sunday, September 10th, where a double-header has been fixed. The opening game, at 3pm, will feature second-placed Rosignol United against Hopetown Rangers; and at 5pm, cup holders and hosts Paradise Invaders will attempt to stop the perfect run of leaders Monnederlust, who have triumphed in all six of their matches played so far.
Invaders are in 4th position on the BFA SML table, on 10 points after 6 games.
The Berbice FA’s SML is mainly funded by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) through its Members-Financial Assistance Programme (M-FAP).
