WDFA Senior Men’s League: Slingerz FC seal return to play with 3-0 victory over Uitvlugt Warriors

Slingerz FC made a grand return to competitive football on Wednesday night when they effected a 3-0 victory over Uitvlugt Warriors in the West Demerara Football Association’s (WDFA’s) Senior Men’s League, played at the National Track and Field Center at Leonora, WCD.

They took to the pitch for their first game since the relaunch of the club on Tuesday afternoon at the Racquet Center in Georgetown. Controversies in 2016 and 2017 had led the team to being approximately 5 years in dormancy.
on Wednesday night, it was time for the players to do their part, and that they did, as the experienced Deon Alfred made the first strike after outplaying Uitvlugt’s defence. Moments later, it could have been a 2-0 game, but Alfred was unable to finish his second attempt.

The first half ended with the score at 1-0, but, in the second half, Alfred was able to add another goal to his personal tally, while national U16 striker Matrim Martin was rewarded for his spirited plays with a goal, making the final tally 3-0 in favour of Slingerz.
Earlier in the night, Pouderoyen FC took on Wales United, and Dwayne St. Kitts, Corwin Wright, Tyshawn Halley and Eon Sullivan each scored a goal, resulting in Pouderoyen’s 4-1 victory.

Play in the Senior Men’s Leagues in Georgetown, West Demerara, Essequibo/Pomeroon, East Coast Demerara, East Bank Demerara, Bartica and Rupununi will continue from Friday into the weekend.
