GDF, Police dominate again as Women’s League continues

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Women’s Football Club and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Women’s Club made up for last week’s hiatus in the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) Women’s Division One League by delivering two commanding wins. Both sides overwhelmed their opponents with lopsided scores.
Action at the GFF’s National Training Center (NTC) in Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), began on Wednesday evening with a clash between Police’s Women and Fruta Conquerors.

Fruta Conquerors held firm in the opening minutes, but a cheeky goal – a shot that slipped from the goalkeeper’s hands during the gather – gave Police their first strike. From that moment, the lawwomen never looked back.
Shanic Thornhill opened the scoring in the ninth minute, followed by Lakeisha Pearson, whose shot from outside the box found the back of the net in the 26th minute. Another long-range effort from Tiandi Smith in the 28th minute increased Police’s lead to 3–0 by halftime.
Thornhill added her second goal in the 42nd minute to open the second half, while Amanda McKenzie and S. Adams scored in the 44th and 60th minutes, respectively, sealing a 6–0 victory for Police.
Later, GDF’s Women continued their dominant form with a 16–0 thrashing of Western Tigers. Like Fruta Conquerors, Western Tigers started strongly, but their momentum dissipated when Abioce Heywood broke through in the ninth minute to score for GDF.

Heywood completed her brace in the 21st minute, while Zoruna Ali recorded a hat trick with goals in the 43rd, 46th, 49th, and 51st minutes. Glendy Lewis also netted a hat trick, scoring in the 11th, 17th, and 23rd minutes.
Braces came from Sandra Johnson (30th, 39th), Sarena Johnson (47th, 48th), and Jalade Trim (55th, 59th), while Niomie Williams added a single strike in the 21st minute to bring GDF’s total to 16 goals.
The Women’s Division One League action continues this evening, Friday, October 3, at the same venue with another double feature. Santos FC will face Ann’s Grove United at 18:00h, while Rivers’ View will battle Mainstay Goldstars FC starting at 19:30h.
