The Guyana National u-21 unit continued their competent showing in the Player Tournament in Trinidad and Tobago, downing a U-21 Training Squad by a 2-0 score line on Tuesday.
Entering the matchup full of confidence following their 2-1 come from behind win over the Trinidad and Tobago National u-21 unit on Monday, the Guyanese following a scoreless opening quarter took the lead as Rosario Ramsammy scored.
With the management staff opting to rest senior players Aroydy Branford and Andrew Stewart for the encounter, Ramsammy found the back of the net, slotting past the custodian after latching onto an initial shot from Keon McKenzie that was deflected into his path.
McKenzie eventually sealed the win for Guyana three minutes into the third quarter after collecting a pass from Deheron Wilkinson. Guyana will now lock horns with Queens Park today (Thursday) in their final match of the round robin stage of the tourney.

Up to press time, Guyana was in action against Malvern Sports Club who had defeated them in their earlier matchup on the opening night of the event by a 5-3 score line.
