Police, Northern Rangers and Riddim Squad notch up wins

– Corona Beer Invitational Football Tournament

The Petra organized Corona Beer Invitational football tournament continued of Friday evening with a triple header at the Georgetown Football Club ground and saw Police sentence Black Pearl to a 12-0 defeat.
A dominant performance from the Police frontline saw four players record braces while Quincy Holder enjoyed himself immensely by scoring a helmet-trick.
Dwayne Jacobs opened the scoring in the 10th minute and effectively triggered the “goal rush”, he would add his second in the 40th minute while Keon Duke got his brace in the 21st and 67th minutes.

A thorn in Black Pearl’s side, Quincy Holder scored in the 30th, 56th, 64th and 68th minutes while Rawle Thornhill got in on the act in the 42nd and 65th minutes while Anthio Wallace marked his name on the score sheet in the 45th and 74th minutes respectively.
In the second game of the night, the resurgent Northern Rangers continued their winning form as they beat a young Pele FC by a 3-0 margin.
The game was lively in the opening 20 minutes as Pele took the attack to the Rangers forcing saves from the custodian in the opening minutes, however their failure to convert the many chances that fell their way would come back to haunt them as a brace from Anthony Sancho in the 7th and 22nd minutes and a solitary strike from Stephon Reynolds in the 36th minute would seal the game for the Northern Rangers. In the final game of the night Riddim Squad needed a single goal to get past an experienced Santos FC to secure maximum points.Like the losers of game two, Santos also had numerous chances to take the lead in the first half but their failure to convert those chances cost them the game as Riddim Squad’s Rolex Smith would capitalize on a defensive error in the 30th minute to put his team in the lead and effectively win the game.
The tournament will continue on Monday evening at the same venue with the three remaining group stage matches.
