GCC clubs remain undefeated as Saints women, YMCA Old Fort men bag wins

The Guyana National Stadium was set ablaze as the Farfan & Mendes and Woodpecker Products Men’s and Women’s First-Division Leagues continued on Sunday last with four enthralling games.
The GBTI’s GCC showed dominance in their quest to defend their title against YMCA Old Fort Women, as they managed to penetrate the Fort’s defence to win 6-0 with a strike in the 10th minute from Abosaide Cadogan, followed by Captain Tricia Fiedtkou in the 13th minute. Then there was a double coming from Paige Fernandes in the 25th and 35th minute.
Abosaide Cadogan did not miss out on the action, scoring a double to seal her hattrick, with the ball going at the back of the net in the 46th and 55th minutes.
However, the YMCA Old Fort men were phenomenal in winning the game 2–1. They started the game strongly, and secured their first goal from Warren Williams in the 21st minute.
Saints kept their composure, and managed to equalise the game from Baraka Garnett in the 36’, but that was not enough to secure victory, as Warren Williams fired the puck at the back of the net to seal the victory in the 60’. The game ended on 3-1.
The Saints Women were impeccable, as, with their shooting skills, they managed to defeat the WOODPECKER HIKERS 2-1, with Kaiyra Scott firing the ball at the back of the net in the 20’. And with ten minutes to go, Scott secured her double.
Laticia Chung managed to give the Hikers hope with a strike in the 55’, but that was not enough to carry her team over the line.
The Bounty GCC remained undefeated as they defeated the PEPSI HIKERS 3–2, with their dribbling skills forcing an attack early in the game. A double came from Fredrico Cush and Orland Semple in the 11’ and 33’ respectively.
The Hikers did not go out with their phenomenal midfield, as they managed to score a goal in the 43’ from Robert France, but the GCC outfit replied within the next three minutes as they put the puck at the back of the net in the 47’ from Vladimir Woodroffe.
Shane Samuel managed to strike the ball at the back of the net for the Hikers in the 58’, but that was not enough to prevent a loss.
