Slingerz, Belle West, Uitvlugt Warriors bag victories in WDFA Senior Men’s League
In typical tornado fashion, Slingerz FC demolished Eagles FC 11-0 in the 2nd match of the West Demerara FA double-header in the Senior Men’s League, played at the Tuschen Community Centre ground last Sunday.
It was the second occasion that Slingers administered an 11-0 humiliation on an opponent in the competition, and after 3 games, this seemingly omnipotent side have accumulated 31 unanswered goals.
The onslaught was spearheaded by four braces: Ricardo Halley’s in the 16′ and 87′; Jamal Codrington’s in the 21′ and 46′; Leo Lovell’s in the 28’ and 85′; and Deon Alfred’s in the 61′ and 83′. Then there was one each for Lennox Young (2′), Brian Wharton (38′) and Clive Nobrega (80′).
Slingerz FC’s goal scorers after their massive 11-0 victory
Meanwhile, Bell West have registered their first victory of the season after coming from a goal down to easily beat Wales FC 3-1 in the opening match. Quacy Alleyne gave Wales the lead in the 9th minute, but teammate Jacob Roach produced an own goal in the 32nd minute to hand Belle West the equaliser.
Derek Cornelius struck in the 60th minute to give Bell West the advantage, then in the 72nd minute Wales were reduced to ten men, after Shamar Abrams was first shown a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behaviour, before instantly being shown another for dissent, resulting in his expulsion.
Adrian Webster sealed the Bell West win five minutes from full time. It was the first win for Bell West, who had a draw and a loss in their other 2 outings, while Wales lost for the 2nd time to add to their single win.
Goal scorers for Warriors: (L) Kevis Fraser and (R) Sherlock Phillips
On Saturday, Uitvlugt Warriors maintained their unbeaten run in the League when they held off a stiff challenge from Pouderoyen FC to win 2-1 in the solitary match of that day. The first game of that intended double-header was a no show by Number One All Stars in their scheduled game against Uprising FC, but the feature match produced a close encounter.
The Warriors took the attack to Pouderoyen from the opening whistle, and after 28 minutes, broke the deadlock through Kevis Fraser. Seven minutes later, Dwayne St. Kitts missed a golden opportunity to level the scores when he failed to convert from the penalty mark.
The equaliser came in the 71st minute, thanks to Matthew Chidume. Within 2 minutes, the Warriors regained the lead, as Sherlock Phillips sealed the victory.
The Warriors were then reduced to 10 men after Fraser received his 2nd yellow card in the 75th minute, but Pouderoyen failed to capitalize on the one-man advantage in the final 15 minutes, and the Warriors took the 3 points as spoils.
The West Demerara FA is one of nine Regional Associations of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF). They are providing 2nd tier football Leagues with funding from the Federation’s Members-Financial Assistance Programme (M-FAP).
