Johnson, Lewis relishing GDF’s unbeaten win

The Guyana Defence Force’s Women’s football team have already checked one box, becoming the first female team in Guyana to secure a $1 million grand prize in any football competition.
But, after their League-deciding victory in the Guyana Football Federation’s Women’s Division One League on Friday last, the Camp Ayanganna-based outfit is hungry for more.
In what would otherwise be considered a tense outing against the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Women, in a league-deciding match, the GDF’s Sandra Johnson rose to the occasion, effecting a stunning, left- footed shot that ultimately won GDF the game.

In a brief chat with <<<Guyana Times Sport>>> following the game, the winger shared her thoughts on Friday’s game.
“I think it was really good; we trained very, very hard for this victory. It was really competitive,” Johnson expressed.
The highest goal-scorer of the League, Johnson elaborated on her emotions after netting what went on to become the game-winning strike.
She explained, “After that goal, I felt real good and I want to say thank you to my team-mates and my coach.”
Shifting focus to the upcoming knockout tournament, which is set to get underway tomorrow, the striker expressed an intention to also claim the top spot in that competition.
Johnson told this publication, “It’s really important [to win the knockout tournament], we really want that first-place title for GDF.”
GDF’s Women’s Captain Glengie Lewis also chimed in on her team’s win.
“Well, we worked for this and we did it here, we showed them. I feel very happy. The team, we worked hard and this is the result we get. It’s very important for us to win this league,” Lewis related to <<<Guyana Times Sport>>>.
The knockout phase of the Women’s Division One League is set to commence on Wednesday, December 10 and conclude on Friday, December 26.
