NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power U17 Football League launched in Moruca
At launching of the Moruca NAMILCO “Thunderbolt Flour Power” Inter Club Football League, done last Sunday at the Kamwatta Recreational Ground in the Moruca sub-region of Region One (Barima-Waini), top teams Atkinson Brothers FC, Golden Eagles FC, and Mighty Warriors FC each recorded a victory against worthy opponents.

In front of a massive crowd of partisans, Atkinson Brothers FC defeated Friends United FC 3-1, Golden Eagles FC trumped Alpha United FC 7-0, and Mighty Warriors FC won by virtue of a walkover, as Silver Sands FC were absent.
Atkinson Brothers playmaker Carlos Rodrigues netted a double, while his equally adept team mate Kevin Joseph chipped in with a single. Friends United FC player Cardell Lucas was the only one to respond, and with a lone goal, thus Atkinson Brothers eventually won the match 3-1.
The Golden Eagles were literally like birds of prey as they dominated the match against Alpha United, with Dolph James, Allister Henry and Samuel Azaire each scoring a double, and Elon Bjorn Heart nailing a single to help the Eagles record a massive 7-0 win.
