Mouth-watering final set up in Bartica All-Star Knockout

A rain of goals highlighted the semi-finals of the Bartica Football Association’s All-Star Knockout Showdown on Monday at the Bartica Community Centre ground.

Beacons overcame a robust first-half challenge by Wolves United to eventually put the Wolves away by 4 goals to nil, complements of strikes by Clint Kellman, Whitney Welcome, Hamley Martindale and Kyle Caesar.

In the second semi-final match, one red card each to both teams did not slow down the action, though River’s View would be in the final without star defender Travis Burnette. Seventeen-year-old Kellon Richardson opened the scoring for River’s View, followed by two goals each from Andrew Simmons and Omario Lake, while Brian Brown twice found the net at the other end for Lazio.
The match ended with River’s View on 5 and on Lazio 2.
In the grand final, the two top teams from Bartica would be clashing while Beacons duke it out with River’s View.
