Potaro crowned Bartica Football League champion

Potaro Strikers receives the championship trophy after winning the Bartica Football Association Senior Men’s League.

Potaro was crowned the Bartica Football Association Senior Men’s League champion, battling to a 1-1 draw with second place outfit Rising Stars at the community centre ground.

Needing only a draw to secure the title, while their opponent required a victory, Potaro seized the lead via a Daniel Gardner conversion. Gardner, who ended as the league’s top scorer, found the back of the net in the 23rd minute to secure his 12th goal of the campaign.

However, the lead proved to be short-lived, as Ashton Dutchin equalised following a 35th-minute strike. The second half failed to provide a winner, as the respective defences thwarted the attacking forays.
