A Michael Rowe double enabled Georgetown Football Club (GFC) to turn back the challenge of Uprising while defending champions Alpha United and Pele Football Club played to a 0-0 stale mate when action in the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) Cellink Plus-sponsored Premier League competition continued at the Tucville ground last Friday.
Rowe opened his scoring account in the 31st minute and followed that up 11 minutes later with his second to ensure his team, who were dominant in the game, went away with a victory.
“It was a team good effort. I thought everyone played very hard,” Rowe said afterwards.
“We trained very hard and pushed ourselves to a limit, but hard practice would be of no significance if you do not get the required results and sufficient rest,” he added.
In the final game of the night, Alpha United, who will depart these shores today for French Guiana, were regularly in Pele’s 25-metre box posing numerous threats to the opposition’s goal- keeper.
Pele replied with similar raids on their opponents and were it not for good goal tendering by the custodians of both teams, the result would have been a different one.
After 90 minutes of play neither team was successful in finding the back of the net and settled for the draw.
