– GCC ‘B’, Dragons win
Hikers’ men enjoyed a solid evening of performances as both their first and second division teams registered victories, while their ladies unit were overwhelmed by GCC ‘B’.
Western Dragons also tasted success on the evening, getting off the mark with a flying start against Old Fort in the second division segment.
In the feature match of the evening, Hikers’ Jerazeno ‘Skillaxe’ Bell wasted no time in making his presence felt as he carved space through the tight Old Fort defence and let fly a blistering shot in the 9th minute of play that proved too quick for goalkeeper Michel Smith.
Bell displayed his artistry by setting up the second goal just before the half, drawing the defence, before slipping the ball to team-mate Shane Samuels who made good on the strike.
While Hikers enjoyed much of the possession, Old Fort seemed the more determined to score in the second half, but their offensive efforts left them vulnerable in the back and Bell pounced once more with a second half strike to complete the 3-0 victory for his side.
Earlier in the evening, Flora GCC ladies put on a heroic performance in their encounter against Hikers ‘B’ men.
In what could be described as an evenly matched game that produced some fine goalkeeping at both ends Hikers eventually pull ahead with a well-timed deflection from Hardeo Jaganadan in the 42nd minute and that was enough to give his team a 1-0 victory. The tables, however, turned in the following match as Hikers ladies took the field against the GCC second division men.
They were never allowed to get into the match as GCC steamrolled them by 10 goals to 1.
Shaka Gill, Stuart Gonsalves and Leonard George each scored doubles, while Andrew Xavier, Mark Sergeant, Brian Gomes, Eric Hing and Stephen Xavier netted one apiece. Hikers’ lone goal came off the stick of Ashley Birkett.
Western Dragons then ensured that their long trek from Uitvlugt was not in vain when they took the field next.
Despite another evenly matched battle, Dragons scored two goals in the first half through Jermaine Murray and Chauncey Phillips to Old Fort’s one by Dwight McCalman.
The second half remained scoreless, leaving Dragons to enjoy the 2-1 victory.
GCC and Hikers share the lead with three points each in the first division competition, while Hikers’ men are ahead in the second division competition with 6 points, edging in front of second placed GCC men on 4 followed by Western Dragons on 3.
Carib Degenerates, Flora GCC ladies and Old Fort ‘B’ each have one point to their name, while Hikers ladies are yet to get off the mark.
Matches continue at Thirst Park on Wednesday, 30th September with a ladies clash between Flora GCC and the lady Hikers followed by another GCC vs. Hikers battle in the men’s second division. Old Fort ‘B’ take on the Western Dragons next, before the feature first division clash between pool leaders GCC ‘A’ and Hikers ‘A’.
Starting time is 18:30hrs.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
