GFF Elite League III…
The Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF’s) Elite League III continued on Tuesday evening at the No. 5 Ground on the West Coast of Berbice (Region 5), where a double-header hosted saw two almost contrasting draws unfold.
In the first match, between Milerock FC and Ann’s Grove United, after 25 minutes of proceedings, Ann’s Grove United FC’s number 13, Maxton Adams, secured the first goal for his side.
Despite their very best efforts, Milerock FC failed to equalise; thus at half time the score was 0-1 in favour of Ann’s Grove United.
At resumption of play, Milerock FC began a desperate search for the equalising goal, employing every trick in and out of the book, and even substituting players in the 46th and 70th minutes; but nothing worked in their favour.
Then something miraculous happened. When, in the 79th minute, all seemed lost, Rawle Gittens suddenly produced a brilliant piece of play to score the equaliser for Milerock FC.
And as the night continued, both teams attacked and defended well, leaving the score at 1-1 at fulltime.
Even though Ann’s Grove FC may feel they had let one slip by, Milerock exited the field a happy side, fortunate to have secured a draw.
The NA United versus Cougars match began like any other, with each player trying to find his stride early. In this way they upped the ante, resulting in Leonardo Adams being dealt a red card in the 34th minute, to leave NA United with 10 players.
Cougars FC were a bit more thorough, securing only one yellow card for the night, but even with substitutions being made from both teams, the end result was scores being 0-0, leaving each team in its same position on the table.
With all four teams being in the bottom four of the table, it was a matter of playing for pride and determining who had the guts to go for glory.
