NAMILCO U-17 League continues despite inclement weather

Buxton Stars stormed to a mighty win over Plaisance Panthers on Sunday last when the NAMILCO National Under-17 Intra-Association League continued at the Golden Grove Ground.
The East Demerara Football Association (EDFA)-organised event, which is drawing to a close, saw Buxton win 8-1.
Shamar McPherson and Shamar Scott both recorded a brace as they led their side to victory. McPherson recorded a first-half double with goals in the ninth and 32nd minutes, while Scott’s goals were the foundation of the second half as he scored in the 56th and 60th minutes.
Other scorers were Shamar Kingston who scored in the 22nd minute; Colin Wills from the penalty spot in the 62nd, Corwin Maxwell in the 68th and an agonising own goal from Panthers’ Shamar George in the 70th minute.
Plaisance got their consolation goal off the boot of Azandee King from the penalty mark in the 46th minute. The competition is being contested for the first time by the nine member associations of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) after NAMILCO, the National Milling Company of Guyana, inked a five-year contract with the Federation.
Action kicked off last year, but owing to challenges with the weather, many associations have had to put matches off since venues often became unplayable.
