Experience overcame exuberance when Alpha United downed tournament hosts Fruta Conquerors 3-2 in the semi-final round of the Namilco One Love Football Festival held on Wednesday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground, Bourda and they will now face the GDF in the final.
In what would prove to be a high scoring opening period, Sheldon Holder broke the deadlock for the ‘Hammers’ in the sixth minute, placing his right-footed effort to the bottom right-hand corner from inside the centre of the area. Ten minutes later, Alpha doubled their lead when midfielder Mark Miller found the back of the net through a strike to the lower right-hand side after receiving a right-sided pass.
The Tucville unit pulled one back two minutes later through an Eon Alleyne right-footed free kick from the left side of the field.
