Police advance without a sweat, Rosignol fell Heart of Oak 6-0
Police FC, champions of the inaugural Candy Boss and Antics GT BEER 8-a-side football tournament, have advanced to the second round of this tournament, being played at the All-Saints School ground on Princess Elizabeth Road in New Amsterdam, Berbice, by
gaining a walkover from Canje FC on Friday night; thus, they did not have to work up a sweat.
Rosignol FC have meanwhile registered a 6-0 thrashing on the Heart of Oak team in the only game played in the scheduled doubleheader. Royan Rose and Neil Reynolds each scored a double, while one each came from Royan Solomon and goalkeeper Evon Smith, who scored from the penalty spot.
Goal scorers are, from left to right: Royan Rose, Neil Reynolds, Evan Solomon and Evon Smith
The one-sided affair saw Smith having little work to do between the uprights until referee Sherwin Johnson blew his whistle without allocating injury time, much to the delight of the players.
Police FC will meet Rosignol FC in quarterfinal action on December 23 at the same venue. Meanwhile, action continues tonight with defending champions Paradise FC taking on NA United FC in game one. Game two will see Ithaca FC of West Berbice coming up against Cougars FC of New Amsterdam.
The knockout competition runs through December
