Bago Sports Beach Soccer C’ships … Guyana’s ‘Red Jaguars’ place 3rd

Nov 07, 2012 Sports

Guyana’s Red Jaguars placed third 3rd in the just concluded Bagosports Beach Soccer Championships contested at the Turtle Beach Heritage Park, Black Rock, Tobago, from November 2 – 4.
The Guyanese topped Group ‘B’ (after the preliminary round) which was dubbed the group of death as it included the USA, Switzerland and Bago Sports; Guyana began the campaign on a bad note going down to nemesis Bago Sports 0-4 in the opening fixture on November 2, but rebounded like true Jaguars in the next match against Switzerland whipping them 6-4.
Captain Jermaine Grandison leading the way with a brace of goals, Deshawn Joseph, Michael Wilson, Ralph Alexander and Marmarlaque Davidson scored one each.
On November 3, the ‘Red Jaguars’ came out roaring to whip the much experienced and the defending champions USA 10-2; Ron ‘Neymar’ Fiedtkou blasted the nets on four occasions with a double each from Deshawn Joseph, Jermaine Grandison and Michael Wilson.
Guyana were then awarded a walk over from Lambeau FC and that secured a place for the Red Jaguars at the top of the group and a place in the semi finals as the top two from each group advanced.
The Guyanese were drawn against Jamaica which used the tournament as preparations for the upcoming CONCACAF Beach World Cup Qualifiers set for January.
During the game, Guyana matched the Reggae Boyz in every department but owing to some poor officiating by the American Referees, and lack of concentration by the Red Jaguars, they ended on the receiving end as the final score line read, Guyana 3 Jamaica 6.
Later that same day in the third place, the Red Jaguars battled to an exciting 4-4 draw against Bago Sports FC to claim third on goal difference.
The skillful Brazilian team won the championship and the first prize of US$15,000. The Guyana team returned yesterday.
