GDF humble Police; Western win in Women’s/ Men’s doubleheader

There was football action for all tastes on Tuesday evening at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF’s) National Training Center (NTC) at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), where one female game and one male game made up an exciting double-header in the GFF Women’s Development League One and KFC Elite League Season Six respectively.
The men were up first, and Western Tigers Football Club took out their frustration on West Demerara’s Den Amstel FC to rebound from a shocking loss to Santos FC on Saturday last.

Randolph Wagner opened the scoring for Western in the 4th minute, and Rushawn Ritch made it a 2-0 affair in the 17th. However, in the 39th, Den Amstel’s Jamal Robinson pulled one back for a 2-1 score at the half.
While Wagner completed his brace in the 67th minute, Den Amstel’s Rondel Hutson netted in the 80th to give his team hope of a comeback. But it was not to be, as Andrew Murray found the back of the net in the 81st to put the equalizer out of reach for Den Amstel, and, as such, sealed Western’s 4-2 victory.

Then a top-of-the-table clash in the Women’s Development League One saw the football clubs from the two disciplined force butting heads. Though the Police women fought valiantly, they suffered a 3-0 loss at the hands of League leaders GDF FC.
Glendy Lewis found the back of the net for GDF in the 16th minute, and after a number of missed chances from Police, the first half ended 1-0 in GDF’s favour. Jalade Trim, in the second half, netted in the 58th to extend GDF’s lead, while Glendy Lewis did the same in the 81st to seal the 3-0 win. GDF are now the outright leaders of the League.
On the other hand, the Elite League will take a break, and return on May 18th, when Ann’s Grove will battle Fruta Conquerors FC at 18:30hrs, while Monedderlust FC would take on Slingerz FC at 21:00hrs.
