UG goal spree highlights continuation of MODEC Tertiary Tournament

There were no surprises in store at the Queen’s College Ground on Sunday afternoon as the University of Guyana (UG) Turkeyen Campus and the Government Technical Institute (GTI) went two-for-two with victories in the inaugural MODEC Tertiary Education Football Tournament.
In the first match of the double-header, the University of Guyana ran riot against the Guyana Industrial Training Centre (GITC), in an 18-0 schooling. Sherwin Evans led the way with six goals in the 39th, 48th, 52nd, 59th, 65th and 69th minutes followed by the next best marksman, Ronaldo Sobers with four goals in the 41st, 83rd, 88th and 90th.

Earlier, Josiah King had broken the ice early in the seventh minute, while Jaleei Alcindor doubled the lead by the sixth minute. Before GITC could blink, Romeo Bradford extended UG’s lead two minutes later, going on to complete his brace in the 40th minute.
Also adding their names to the scoresheet for UG were Deandre Anderson (10th), Kerron Spencer (62nd, 89th) and Montell Mc Almont (80th).
Later on, a team effort from the Government Technical Institute (GTI) resulted in a 5-2 victory over Texila American University. Texila got ahead first as an early brace off the boots of Adolf Adietbella in the 6th and 11th minutes shook up GTI’s defence.
However, Damario Webb pulled one back in the 13th minute and a successful penalty shot taken by Kevin Davis in the 30th, levelled the playing field once more. Thereafter, it was GTI’s game with David Augusta (32nd), Alton Fraser (39th) and Keron Semour (61st) pitching in with one goal each for the win.
