Golden Grove and Melanie will face-off in the semi-final round of the 592 Beer ‘Skills for Cash’ seven-a-side football tournament, following contrasting quarterfinal wins last evening at the Victoria Community ground.

Golden Grove bested Paradise (East Coast Demerara) by a 2-0 scoreline. Derick Thomas opened the scoring in the seventh minute, as two goals in the space of five minutes sealed the result for Golden Grove.

Lurking inside the penalty box, Thomas uncorked a first-time placed shot into the back of the net, after latching onto a cross following a right sided corner kick. The result was then sealed, as Adrian Gonsalves found the back of the net in the 12th minute.
