An afternoon of enthralling football, punctuated by a single goal, and hyped by screaming fans, wrapped up the Bartica Football Association (BFA) leg
of the GFF/KFC Under-20 Independence knockout tournament after a week of exciting matches at the Bartica Secondary School ground.
With a trophy, bragging rights and the chance to represent the BFA at the National Playoffs at stake, Potaro Strikers FC and Lazio FC put on a display of youthful exuberance and football quality to produce a match worthy of a final.
The encounter went both ways at a steady pace, and the fans went along, too, screaming from touchline to touchline. Beyond the half, the match was deadlocked at 0-0, but it took a player the quality of a Junior Jaguar, in the person of Kevin Reddy to break the deadlock.
Ready converted from a set-play 20 yards out; Keron Spencer faked the play and the ensuing Reddy strike was so swift and accurate that it caught everyone flat-footed, including the Lazio goalkeeper as Potaro Strikers walked away with a 1-0 win and the right to represent the GFA in the National Playoffs.
Eight clubs participated in the week-long tournament: Potaro Strikers, Lazio, Beacon, Rivers View, Mil Ballers, Wolves United, Rising Stars and Agatash United.
