PPP/C “One Guyana” Linden Beach Football: Wins for Sound Box, Exodus, Coomacka, Speightland on opening day
The $1 million Linden “One Guyana” Beach Football tournament hosted by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Linden outfit began with some exciting wins on Sunday outside the office in Mackenzie, Linden.
Marvin Jeffrey of Speightland
To start the tournament, Sound Box were too loud for Young Gunners winning 3-1 behind Malachi Humphrey scoring a hat-trick while Damian Stellingburg had a brace and the Gunners’ Damian Williams got the other goal in the encounter.
Exodus then showed up for their match against Street Lights, who gave a walkover victory to their opponents. The third scheduled game finished with the Coomacka Mines blasting past Anybody Got It with a 7-1 score-line. The consolation strike for the losers was netted by Sharma Jordan.
Young Ballers eked out a 1-0 victory against Talibans, with Osapho Ross getting that all-important goal.
In the fifth game of the night, Elite Ballers beat Hi Stars as Kester Randolph and Dennison Sealey scored for the winners and Jermain King hit the only goal for Hi Stars.
National U20 player Sheenesa Cornelius (C) competing for Speightland
National Under-20 female football player Sheenesa Cornelius, who was fielded in the male-dominated tournament, showed guts and at times, was in the game seeking goals for Speightland.
However, the side’s four goals were scored by the aggressive Marvin Jeffrey for Speightland as Vichron Chantrenent pulled one back for the Gennaysde in a lone strike.
Another batch of matches will be played when the tournament continues Wednesday afternoon outside the PPP/C office ground in Mackenzie, Linden.
