Eagles United climbed back to the points standing with a 3-1 stopping of Hi Stars, but Botofago rebounded after losing three of their four games and having a draw to gain their first win by a 4-2 score-line against Silver Shattas, who lost for a fourth time in six outings as the Upper Demerara Football Association’s GTT 2017/18 Senior League football championship continued last Sunday night at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground.

The Stars through the veteran Tony ‘Spirit’ Adams from the penalty spot evened things in the 56th minute, but that would be the last time the Stars were in the game.
Kellon Primo placed the Eagles ahead once again through a penalty from Kellon Primo in the 60thminute and then Drakes returned to put the game beyond the stars netting in the 70th minute as the game’s final 3-1 score line.
