PPP/C Linden Beach Football: Swag Men in fine form; Speightland, Dynamo Ladies
A look at the beach football action
The battle for quarterfinal slots in the million-dollar “One Guyana” Beach Football tournament hosted by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic continues with play in both the male and female categories taking place outside that party’s office in Mackenzie, Linden from 6.00pm.
This follows another exciting night on day four, Independence Day, when Swag displayed fine form in the men’s division and female sides Dynamo FC and Speightland were equally impressive.
In the opening game on Friday night, Good Fellas handed Rockstone a 2-0 defeat, with Kelvin Blake and Akel Plass getting the goals for Good Fellas. Then, in the first female clash, Dynamo FC dispatched the Milerock Scorpions with a 6-0 sting.
Shanice Johnson and Glendy Lewis each recorded a double, while Jalade Trim and Sandra Johnson got the other two goals for the victorious Dynamo team.
The next men’s game was an enforcement matter between tournament favourites Swag and the Police, and Swag showed the Police little respect when they arrested them with a 5-1 victory. Colwyn Drakes read the Police the Riot Act when he scored all five goals, and Ezikiel Prince shot home the lone goal for the law enforcers.
In another men’s toss-up R9s scored a 4-3 win over Young Ballers, with Omar Brewley netting thrice and Tyric McAllister getting the other for the winners, while Dequan Samuels scored twice and Shemiah Samuels once for the Ballers team.
Speightland then flooded River’s View with a torrent of eight goals. Lakisha Pearson got the brace, and Sheenesa Cornelius, Nikita Wayne, Prescilla Rose, Alliyah Venture, Lavisha Cornelius and Tandi Smith each stitched in one.
Quiet Storm overcame Sandbox 2-0 in another men’s clash, as Quacy Cadogan and Zidane Ramdeholl netted for the winners.
In the final men’s match, Golden Stars ‘B’ won 2-0 over Exodus, Kenroy Gills and Crandon Samuels being responsible for the goals.
Ballers Empire men then advanced after Blueberry Hill did not turn up for their clash.
Matches set for this evening (Sunday) in the men’s competition are: Main Street facing Amazing; YMCA tackling Minerals; Speightland taking on Kara Kara United; and Young Gunners challenging Elite Ballers. In the lone female game, Exodus will meet Nurses.
