The long awaited GFF-K&S Futsal competition did not disappoint on its Tuesday night launch, as some of the best teams in the shorter format put on a grand show.

The tournament is being played at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH), and the games, which have been intense, have kept the boisterous spectators on the edge of their seats for the entire 5-match roster.
A glimpse of the action between Alexander Village and Avocado Ballers
Opening the tournament was a fiery encounter between Stabroek Ballers and Vengy FC. The Stabroek Ballers were no match for the Venezuelan expertise of Vengy, as Alberto Hernandez netted 3, Jose Vasquez 2, and Anghelo Rojas 1 for their 6-goal tally. Mark Jhallu’s brace and Shemar Welch’s lone goal comprised the reply for Stabroek in the 6-3 game.

Alexander Village utilised their experience against Avocado Ballerz in the second game, winning 4-2. At the half, Avocado led with two goals from Anthony Carreno and Endrick Perez, but Shem Porter’s brace and one each from Anton Porter and Rolan Junior were enough to hand Alexander Village the win.
A seven-goal tally from California Square handed them a victory over Generation X. Brandon Solomon, Wesley Greenidge, Levi Canterbury, Tevin Campbell, Antowne Vasconcellos and Meshack Barratt all contributed one to California’s tally, with an own goal from Chancy Babb adding the 7th. Josh Parvattan’s brace accounted for Generation X’s reply.
With the highest goal count of the night, Team Cruel rendered Globe Yard speechless with a 9-0 thumping. It was not the finish that Globe Yard was expecting from the fairly new Team Cruel, as the first half of their encounter ended with a 1-0 score. However, in the second half, it rained goals for Team Cruel. Jemar Harrigan’s hattrick and Tyrice Dennis’s 4 led the way, with Jerome Harrigan and Steven Miller adding one each.
The final game of the night saw a close encounter between Renegade and Agricola. Leading 2-0 at the half, Agricola eventually lost the lead and the game.
