Women’s Division One League… : Western Tigers, Rivers’ View pick up 3 points

Western Tigers Football Club’s Women and Rivers’ View FC Women found themselves in the winners’ circle when the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Women’s Division One League continued at the National Training Centre (NTC), Providence, East Bank Demerara on Friday night.
Western Tigers were the first to pick up their three points on the back of a team effort. Akilha Roberts was the first to strike for Western, finding the back of the net in the 18th minute.

However, their opponents, Ann’s Grove United were relentless after the deficit and their advance paid off in the 23rd minute, when a curling shot off the boots of Monica Roberts found the back of the net.
Western reclaimed their lead just before the half as Chelsy Lupe and Marissa Frank netted in the 28th and 30th minutes respectively for a 3-1 score at halftime.
Ann’s Grove tightened their defences in the second segment, but were unlucky at the other end of the pitch, resulting in the final score remaining 3-1.
Then, Rivers’ View put on a shooting masterclass to fend off an advancing Monedderlust FC in the following encounter.

Nickesha Persaud gave the Region Seven outfit an early lead, finding the back of the net in the 5th minute, but Monedderlust levelled the scores when Sasha Leo enjoyed a breakaway run to slip the ball into the left corner of the net in the 21st minute.
Before the half expired, Aleya Daniels made use of a weak clearance, sending the rebound back into the left corner of the goal for a 2-1 lead at the half.
In the second half, Persaud completed her brace in the 34th minute, but it was Daniels with her signature right-footed rifle shot that found the net in the 39th and 54th minutes to seal Rivers’ View’s 5-1 victory.
The Women’s Division One League will continue on Wednesday, October 15 with another double-header. At 18:00h, Den Amstel battle Santos FC while at 19:30h, Mainstay Goldstar take on Guyana Police Force (GPF) Women.
