Western Tigers clawed their way to the top of the leader board following the latest round of action in the 2012/2013 Guyana Football Federation Super League which was contested at the Georgetown Football Club Ground, on Wednesday night.
The Tigers, edged past Pele 2-1 in a close battle in the main attraction, the curtain raiser saw defending champions Alpha United hammering Amelia’s Ward United 4-0.
Following a goalless first half in the Western Tigers / Pele game, four minutes into the second half, Gavin Wilson handed the tiger’s pole position and his teammate Devon Millington doubled the advantage in the 61st minute.
Soon after though, Pele was able to narrow the deficit on account of a Stellon David penalty in the 65th minute and the game was back to an interesting position. Unfortunately for Pele, they were reduced to 10 men when hero turn villain, Stellon David was shown a straight red card for ‘Violent Conduct’ in the 67th minute, a mere two minutes after scoring.
Meanwhile, Alpha United, featuring a number of ex Pele players following the transfer window (January 1 – 31), made light work Upper Demerara’s Amelia’s Ward easing to a 4-0 win.
They got their goals off the boots of Andrew Murray in the 10th minute, Gregory Richardson in the 25th minute from the penalty spot, Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams in the 56th minute and Travis ‘Zorro’ Grant in the 79th minute.
The Kashif & Shanghai 2012/13 runners-up Amelia’s Ward was weakened by the loss of about 16 players during the transfer window including former Captain Travis Waterton and K & S 2012/13 Most Outstanding Goalkeeper Odel Allicock.
