West Demerara’s Uitvlugt Warriors continued their fairy tale run in the 2012/13 edition of the Guyana Football Federation Super League on Sunday last when they erased a 2-0 deficit to record a breathtaking and exciting 4-3 win over Upper Demerara’s Milerock at the Uitvlugt Community Centre Ground, West Coast Demerara.
Having recorded a record breaking 2-1 win over defending champions Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United the week before, Uitvlugt, with home advantage again on their side produced another upset of some sorts with an impressive win over Milerock.
The Bauxite Mining Town based Milerock wasted no time in cantering into the lead and by the 28th minute were up by two through goals from Ron Fiedtkou (28) and Beneakaman Smartt who opened proceedings in the 7th minute.
By now the home fans were left to wonder how their countrymen would respond, led by veteran Orville Bobb. The half time came with Milerock securing their advantage. Uitvlugt regrouped at the break and came out firing.
Jamaal Harvey got into goal scoring mode with the first of his brace in the 53rd minute to reduce the lead. Three minutes later Delon Lanferman rocked the nets with the equalizing goal for Uitvlugt. This fruitful period continued for the West Side team as they took the lead for the first time in the 60th minute through a Charles Stoby finish.
Milerock were by now exhausted, letting in three unanswered goals; but the action was far from over. The Linden side responded in like manner when Clarence Huggins found the back of the nets in the 72nd minute to bring back some ease into the Milerock side.
While Milerock would have been contented to share the spoils at that point, the home team were far from satisfied and showed that they have firepower and the will until the end of full time. With two minutes to go, Harvey fired home the winner to secure Uitvlugt’s second win in as many matches.
Uitvlugt made one substitution as opposed to Milerock which utilized all theirs.
Up at the Buxton Community Centre Ground, the home team, Buxton United Sports Club was able to salvage some pride by sharing the points with Rosignol United of Berbice in a 1-1 stalemate.
While Buxton dominated play for the most part, Rosignol United took the lead when Cornel Taylor tucked one in the back of the nets capitalizing on some poor defensive work by the home team. But one minute later, Buxton was able to equalize when a Jamaal Booker shot sent the keeper the wrong way.
Like the Buxton game, the double header at the GFC Ground did not produce a win but a similar score line in each instance.
In a keen battle, Linden’s Amelia’s Ward United were able to share the points with Western Tigers, Travis Waterton securing a draw from them with his 82nd minute goal. Jerome Richardson had given the Tigers the lead in the 71st minute.
In the feature game, West Demerara’s Den Amstel continued their impressive form at this level when they drew with Pele after taking the early lead compliments of a Gideon Payne’s goal five (5) minutes into the game.
Pele worked hard and long for the neutralizing goal which finally came four (4) minutes into the second half, veteran Travis ‘Zorro’ Grant hitting the back of the nets.
Competition will continue today at four venues. At the Blairmont Community Centre Ground, Rosignol United will host Western Tigers; the Uitvlugt Community Centre will accommodate a big clash between Uitvlugt and Den Amstel; BV Triumph United and Buxton United will square off at the BV Ground in matches that will kick off at 15:30hrs.
The lone encounter at the GFC Ground features Pele against Milerock from 19:00hrs.
It is disgusting that our teachers have to protest in the streets for a…
