In his heyday he tormented and terrorised defenders, while beating goalkeepers at will.
Not only in his homeland did Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams display his goal-scoring prowess, he also reaped dividends in Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname where he scored a record 21 goals in 11 games playing for Leo Victor in 2012.
At age 43, ‘Awo’, in 65 minutes of action for Beacon FC, netted the first treble of the season for the Georgetown FA’s Senior Men’s League in its third game. The hat-trick spearheaded an 8-1 demolition of Order and Discipline at the GFC ground last Friday night.
Beacon will be in action again tonight at the GFC ground when they clash with Pele FC in the final game of the triple-header set for 6 pm. The opening game is set for 2 pm when Black Pearl confronts Vengy FC and at 4 pm Riddim Squad do battle with East Veldt FC.
The former senior National forward ended his playing days at both International and National in 2017, but recently got back onto the pitch competitively where he led Beacon Masters to Championship glory last weekend. His 10 goals in 7 games earned him the Top Goalscorer trophy and he also captured the MVP trophy.
The other game played last Friday resulted in a 1-all tie between Camptown FC and homeside GFC.
Meanwhile the 2nd week of Regional Association football Leagues will also see more play at the Rosignol Community Center ground today where the Berbice FA’s 7-team competition continues.
At 5 pm Monedderlust FC will go in search of win number two when they tackle Ithaca FC who are making their first outing of the season. In the feature match at 7 pm, NA United FC will look to bounce back from their opening loss when they come up against Rosignol United FC, making their first appearance.
