Home team Monedderlust FC maintained their unbeaten record at home in this inaugural Stag Elite League (SEL) when they again absorbed the opening goal before coming back to disappoint their visitors by taking full points.
Like they did against the GDF, Monedderlust came from behind to win, this time they upstaged the ‘Upsetters’ Georgetown Football Club (GFC) 2-1 to record their second win after suffering three consecutive losses.
The evening’s opening game saw Slingerz FC taking care of Buxton United 2-0 in a game they dominated throughout. Both matches were actually determined in the first half.
GFC, with an animated home crowd to also deal with, thought it best to hush the crowd up early in order to deal with Monedderlust on the field. They did just that, Mikhail Stewart converted in the 10th minute which also underscored the fact that Monedderlust concedes early but is very destructive as the game progresses, at least on home turf.
They {Monedderlust} were not daunted by the fact that they were trailing and with the boisterous home fans urging them along. They had conceded against the GDF in the 13th minute but this time around it was even earlier.
The home team’s Captain, Travis Henry took on the GFC defence like he did against the Army and netted the neturalising goal in the 25th minute. The home team were now back in the game as they turned the pressure on GFC.
With the half time break approaching, both teams were relishing some-time in the dressing room to recuperate and refocus. However, Monedderlust had other ideas as Kevin Cottoy, who also netted the winner against the GDF, achieved a similar feat against GFC.
In the penultimate minute before the break, Cottoy handed his team the lead and as it turned out, the winning goal in the 44th minute as no goals were scored in the second half. The win saw them jumping into fifth place in the standings with GFC now occupying the penultimate spot in the eight team league.
The opening game saw Slingerz romping to a comfortable 2-0 win over Buxton United, the win resulted in Slingerz jumping ahead of Alpha United on goal difference, into second place.
Crafting the victory for Slingerz was Dominican forward Julian Wade who just returned to the side for his first game. He has the reputation of being a natural scorer and that he once again demonstrated by netting the opening goal in the 21st minute.
Putting the preverbal icing on the cake was Domini Garnett who is now regaining scoring form, having endured a long drought. The former Grove Hi Tech player, who is now on loan with Slingerz from T&T Pro League side Caledonia AIA, netted his second goal in as many matches in the 44th minute to hand Slingerz a comfortable win.
