GFF Women’s Division 1 League: Police, GDF put on goal fest
It was a goal fest at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground, Bourda on Saturday as the likely usual suspects put on a show when the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Women’s Division 1 League continued.
The first encounter was tame in comparison to what was yet to come: as Fruta Conquerors narrowly got past Potaro Strikers 2-1.
Amanda McKenzie netted the first goal of the game in the 10th minute for Fruta Conquerors and it was only until the second half that Shaneesa Cornelius made it a 2-0 game in the 55th minute.
In the 85th minute, Olivia Oselmo beat the Fruta goalkeeper to register Potaro’s consolation goal.
Next up was an encounter between the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Women and Pakuri Jaguars. All it took was three strikers, but 10 goals were witnessed in the 90-minute period.
The GPF goal scorers
Anastacia Horshan got the ball rolling in the 12th minute and added to the team’s and her own tally again in the 23rd minute, before Abioce Haywood registered her lone strike of the game in the 24th.
Horshan went on to find the back of the net three more times in the 47th, 65th and 80th minutes respectively. Meanwhile, Glendy Lewis joined the scoring party in the 31st minute and went on to complete her helmet trick in the 34th, 61st and 75th minutes, to seal GDF’s 10-0 win.
The onslaught on the pitch continued as the Women of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Club combined efforts for a scintillating 12-0 victory over Santos FC.
Akeelah Vancooten opened the scoring for Police in just the 7th minute and made it a 2-0 game in the 13th minute. Tiandi Smith later extended the tally to 3-0 in the 29th , while Shanic Thornhill scored back- to- back in the 30th and 33rd.
While Lakeisha Pearson opened her personal account in the 42nd, Vancooten completed her triple in the 44th and Thornhill added another in the 45th minute for an 8-0 score at the half.
Thornhill opened the second segment with a strike into the back of the net in the 48th minute and Florice Waldron picked up where she left off in the 62nd. Two strikes in quick succession in the 76th minute, off the boots of Pearson and Collette Rutherford respectively propelled the Police Women to the massive victory.
