Fruta Conquerors secured their second win in Pre-Season training ahead of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League, downing Ann’s Grove by a 2-0 score line on Wednesday at the Tucville Community ground.
It was the second win for the Tucville unit following their 1-0 defeat of Victoria Kings in their pre-season opener, and follows a disappointing 5-0 loss to national giant Alpha United. Simeon Moore and Reshawn Sandiford were on target in the 37th and 69th minute respectively. The youthful squad featured O’Neil Carter between the uprights, alongside defenders Delon Williams, Cecil Jackman, Lennox Charles and Jamal Gibbs.
In the midfield department, Dwayne Lindie, Jaleel Hamilton, Orlando Gravesande and the returning Travis Thornhill slotted in their familiar roles, while the forwards comprised of the converted Reshawn Sandiford and Leon Richardson.
With the score unchanged at the end of the first half in the reduced 70 minute affair, the management staff rung in the changes for the second stanza, with six players making their appearances.
The change proved to be an inspired move as Moore made his presence felt, stabbing home from the centre of the box, into the middle of the goal, after a cross from the right, following a Devon Dooker cornerkick which was missed by the onrushing goalkeeper and fell into his awaiting path.
Centrehalf Delon Williams almost made it 2-0, unleashing a thunderous right foot strike from 30 yards out, in the centre of the field, which crashed into the crossbar.
The scoreline was eventually completed one minute before the end of regulation time as Sandiford placed a right foot finish into the lower right hand corner, after racing into the left side of the box following a through pass.
