Women’s League: GDF drubs Ann’s Grove; Western, Mainstay draw

The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Women’s Football Club continued their winning ways on Wednesday evening, with another massive victory in the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) Women’s Division One League, this time against Ann’s Grove United.

Sandra Johnson and Akeelah Vancooten led the charge for GDF, netting five goals each in the encounter.
Johnson opened the scores in the 3rd minute and went on to find the back of the net in the 9th, 29th, 31st, and 50th minutes, while Vancooten registered her glut in the 6th, 9th, 11th, 21st and 22nd minutes.
Zoruna Ali secured a brace in the 40th and 46th, while Niomie Williams (18th), Abioce Heywood (24th), Glengie Lewis (22nd), Sarena Johnson (44th), Shanesa Cornelius (47th) and Sherrilyn Kingston (60th+1) all added one goal each to GDF’s tally, while Ann’s Grove United failed to muster a response.
Meanwhile, the following game in the night’s doubleheader had the smattering of fans on the edge of their seats after Western Tigers and Mainstay Goldstars FC drew 1-1.

After a goalless first half, Western Tigers took the lead through a well-executed free kick off the boots of Jada Young, which sailed past the keeper’s outstretched arms into the top left corner of the goal in the 45th minute. However, five minutes later, Mainstay’s Ashley Cozier equalised for her team almost identically, sending a set piece into the top right corner of the goal.
The Women’s League continues at the same venue on Friday evening with another doubleheader. At 18:00h, Ann’s Grove United will be back in action, taking on Monedderlust FC, while at 19:30h, River’s View FC will battle Fruta Conquerors FC.
The teams in the Women’s Division One League are competing for a $1M grand prize for the first time in women’s football history in Guyana.
