Uitvlugt FC and Crane Rovers claimed commanding wins when the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) Senior League Championship continued yesterday at the Uitvlugt ground.
The home side dismissed Western Pumas 3-0. Golden Jaguars international, forward Trayon Bobb, commenced the rout with a 13th minute conversion.
Cutting in from the left flank after racing away from his marker, Bobb uncorked a powerful effort which fizzed across the body of the opposing custodian and settled into the back of the net.
It would only take three more minutes for Bobb to make his presence felt once. The mercurial striker blasted a powerful effort from the top of the box into the top right hand corner.
The contest was effectively sealed in the 29th minute as Clem Brotherson scored. The conversion occurred following a powerful shot from 21 yards in the center of the field.
Similarly, Crane Rovers dismissed Hurry ATE 4-1. It was a shooting gallery for the eventual victors who recorded three conversions from outside the 18-yard area.
Dansford Williams, the scorer of two goals, broke the deadlock in the seventh minute with a well-placed shot into the far corner from outside the center of the area.
Akeem Pinder then got into the scoring act in the 30th minute, blasting a right foot effort from 22 yards out on the right side into the back of the net.
Not to be outdone, Williams found his shooting range once more in the 46th minute, hammering a right foot strike past the hapless custodian into the bottom corner from outside the area.
Neshawn Livan would eventually pull one back for Hurry ATE in the 52nd minute, converting from the penalty spot following an infraction.
However, Quacey Henry responded three minutes later to restore his team’s lead, racing onto a through pass from Pinder before finishing past the advancing goalkeeper from inside the penalty area.
The event continues today at the same venue with another round of matches. At 14:00hrs, Eagles will lock horns with Wales while the second matchup will pit Golden Warriors against Beavers from 16:00hrs.
