MTI decimates GSA as MODEC tertiary football continues

A solitary encounter at the Number Five Ground, West Coast Berbice (WCB), turned into a goal fest on Thursday afternoon as the Mahaicony Technical Institute (MTI) walked all over the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA).
Utilising their home-court advantage, MTI’s Tyrel Delph stunned his opponents with an early opening goal in just the second minute. Thereafter, Omar Williams went on to thrill the smattering of spectators with a hat trick in the 17th, 20th and 21st minutes, pushing the lead to 4-0.
However, GSA’s Dexter Spencer gave his team some hope with a 24th-minute strike, followed by another goal from his teammate Shondel Antoine in the 30th, making for a 4-2 score.
Before the half could expire, Winton Hartman registered a double in the 35th and 45th minutes, while Niron Thom netted in the 40th, leaving the score at 7-2 by the break.

When the action resumed, Thom capped off his brace with a 60th-minute strike, while Delph completed his hat-trick in the 80th and 82nd minutes. Dexter McPhie added another goal to GSA’s tally in the 58th, but it was not enough to soften the blow of the 10-3 drubbing.
