Monedderlust secure emphatic win in Candy Boss tournament

Football action will resume in the Ancient County of Berbice this evening as the Candy Boss and Antics GT Beer 8-a-side tournament continues in New Amsterdam.
The tournament has delivered weeks of scintillating football action thus far and is set to heighten the thirst for football as the competition continues, with six teams remaining.
In the recently-concluded matches, Monedderlust recorded a resounding win over their fellow villagers, Number Five Football Club in New Amsterdam, while Paradise edged Rosignol United out of the semi-final running.
Monedderlust were determined to cement their spot and showed this intention from very early on in the match. By the end of the first half, the writing was already on the wall with the score being 4-0 in favour of Monedderlust, but no one could say how many more would follow in the second half.
Travis Henry opened the scoring in the ninth minute and one minute later, Kevin Layne made it 2-nil.
Akeemo Watts found the back of the net in the 23rd minute and just before the halftime whistle sounded, Travis Henry scored again to take his tally to two.
After the resumption, Seon Watts netted a double, scoring back to back in the 45th and 48th minutes before Teron McDonald joined the scoring party and added one more a minute later for Monedderlust’s 7-0 win.
However, that was only game two of the double header.
In the first game, Paradise needled Rosignol United in their race for a semi-final spot. The encounter began quietly and Rosignol United seemed unbothered by Paradise’s early goal, knowing that they had time to recuperate.
However, the second half saw Rosignol United fighting to the death to equalise, but it was to no avail as Paradise’s defence worked overtime. As it turned out, Aubrey Joseph scored the game’s lone goal in the 19th minute.
Six teams remain in the competition and are divided into two groups in a round-robin playoff format.
Group A: defending champions Police FC, Paradise and Number Five while Group B consists of Golden Stars, Monedderlust and Rosignol United. Police have already secured a 3-2 win over Paradise.
The Candy Boss and Antics GT Beer 8-a-side action will continue today.
