President’s Cup football…
ANOTHER Georgetown Football League Premier team has been booted out of the President’s Cup competition when quarter-final action took place at the Wales Community Centre ground, West Bank Demerara, Friday night.

Giant killers Black Pearl continued their upsetting trend in the tournament with a one-nil win over CariAir Western Tigers to add to their list of casualties.

The first division side also accounted for the ousting of Georgetown Football Club (GFC) with a 2-nil victory in their first round encounter.

In a game played under heavy conditions, neither team adapted adequately and the small crowd on hand had to put up with a very pedestrian-paced match complimented by poor execution of skills.

The Tigers without a number of key players, for various reasons, looked a mere shadow of the usual challenge they often present to most opposition.

The game’s solitary conversion came seven minutes from the end when Devon Smith’s perfectly measured left-footed cross from deep on the left, midway into the Tigers’ half, found the unmarked head of Jason Clarke. His timely header at the far post beat goalkeeper Rolex Scott to his left and silenced the Tigers’ fans.

It was a similar score line in the feature game of the double header as Pele advanced to the last four at the expense of BV/Triumph.

A fine solo run down the left by the experienced and versatile Omali Nassy ended with a cannon-like shot from midfielder Shawn Bishop from just inside the box.

After out-foxing the defence inside the area, Nassy found an unmarked Troy Kellman coming in from the opposite side. In one precise and decisive move with his back to the goal, the dreadlocked Kellman found his captain with fifteen minutes to go for the first segment.

Without breaking a stride, Bishop rocked the nets for the game’s only and winning goal to set up a semi-final clash with Black Pearl.
