Wolves United and Beacons advance in BFA All-Star Knockout Showdown

The opening night of the Bartica Football Association All-Star Knockout Showdown saw two contested matches ending with two teams being eliminated and two advancing to the semi-finals.
To kick-off proceedings, Bartica’s oldest club, Wolves United, edged out Bartica’s newest club, Agatash United, by two goals to one. Goals for Wolves United came off the boots of Darren Troyer and Karim Chase, while Travis Hercules converted a penalty kick for Agatash United.
In the second encounter, Beacons went ahead of Potaro Strikers by way of a strike by Hamley Martindale, following a scoreless first half. But five minutes before the end of regulation time, Don Lam answered at the other end for Potaro Strikers.
The ensuing kicks from the penalty spot eventually determined the winner – Beacons 6, Potaro Strikers 5, after young Kareem Caesar came up with a big save for his club.
Eight clubs are participating in the four-day event. The action continues with Lazio battling Mil Ballers, followed by Rising Stars and Rivers View.
