West Demerara giants Pouderoyen FC were handed their first defeat of their pre-season campaign, losing to Elite League club Ann’s Grove United 2-4 on Tuesday evening at the Golden Grove ground, East Coast Demerara.
The fixture started in the worst possible manner for the West Demerara outfit as an own goal was conceded in the third minute as an attempted clearance by the defender was inexplicably dropped by the goalkeeper into the back of the net during his attempt to catch the ball.
Pouderoyen eventually equalised in the 27th minute, as Kenneth Opara netted from the penalty mark, slotting the ball into the right corner, after his side was awarded the spot-kick following a handball infringement inside the 18-yard area.
