The action continued Sunday in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power National Under-17 League at Den Amstel Ground with Eagles FC defeating Slingerz FC 3-1 in the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) leg of matches. Slingerz, who have been a dominant team throughout the league were defeated by well-organised unit that created numerous chances.
Eagles scorers Glenroy Duncan, Marcus Thomas and Charles Benn
After both teams tussled in the early minutes, Eagles’ Marcus Thomas hit the back of the net in the 19th and four minutes later Glenroy Duncan had the boys in pink up two.
Slingerz Odel Duncan who was a nuisance to the Eagles’ defence converted in the 44th via powerful shot from the edge of the 18-yard box. However, the joy for Slingerz would only be momentarily, as Charles Benn netted a minute after via kick from inside the box that hit the right post, slipping into the net.
Slingerz looked like they would create a late revival but calculated defending by Eagles ensured there was no change in the score line when the final whistle was blown.
