Guyana triumph at Inter-Guiana Games football

Champions! The victorious Guyana team posing with their spoils after defeating Suriname in the IGG Football Final.

Guyana won the Inter-Guiana Games Football title, defeating Suriname 2-0 yesterday at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.

The contest exploded into life following a scoreless first-half interval, as Sandra Johnson and Amanda McKenzie found the back of the net.

The wily Johnson, who is a U17 Lady Jaguars international, broke the deadlock in the 48th minute. Racing onto a forward pass, Johnson slotted her effort past the onrushing goalkeeper into the far corner.
