Alpha, Pele, Western and Buxton record wins in latest Super League action

Defending champions, Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United, racked up another three points, as did Buxton United Sports Club, Pele and Western Tigers when play in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Super League continued last Sunday at three venues.
Suffering at the hands of Alpha United at the Buxton Community Centre ground in the feature game were Upper Demerara’s Milerock FC. Manasseh Primo led the victory charge with a brace; one goal each came from the consistent Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams and Marvin Joseph, who opened the scoring in the 37th minute.
The experienced Alpha side took apart the younger and inexperienced Milerock unit that stood firm for the opening half, leading 1-0 at the whistle. However, as the game matured, Alpha gradually took control despite Milerock showing stout resistance.
Second half substitute Primo, who replaced Joseph in the 63rd minute, netted the first of his double in the 75th minute and formalised the scoreline in the 90th minute. In between his goals, Abrams (85th) stuck one of his own. The Milerock lads were able to pull one back, as both teams utilised their full quota of substitutions.
In the opening game, home team Buxton United returned to winning ways by needling a stubborn Amelia’s Ward United. The multi-talented Clive Andries scored the winner three minutes before full-time in the bruising encounter.
Over at the Uitvlugt Community Centre ground, West Coast Demerara, Uitvlugt Warriors, who had earlier toppled Alpha United and also recorded a come-from-behind win over Milerock, were not able to find that same fire, going down to Pele, 3-0.
Gregory Richardson netted all three goals for the city-based side, opening his account from as early as the sixth minute. Pele never allowed the home team to find a rhythm and shooting range as Richardson was a constant feature in the final third of the Uitvlugt half.

Uitvlugt, led by former national defender, Orville Bobb, tried their best to contain Pele even as they strived to draw level but those ambitions went with the Atlantic wind as Richardson sealed their fate during a 10-minute burst.
He slammed in his second goal in the 63rd minute and the third, 10 minutes later which effectively knocked the wind out of the sails of the home team. Uitvlugt made a single sub while Pele doubled that.
In the other game, the other West Demerara team, Den Amstel Porknockers had to dig deep to earn a share of the points against Rosignol United.
Both sides, featuring a number of young and talented players went about their quest for full points in business-like manner but it was the Berbice side that cantered into the lead, silencing the home crowd in the 17th minute.
Delbert Wilson was the player who handed his side the lead but the going was never easy. While the Berbicians strived to maintain and stretch the advantage, Den Amstel constantly worked towards drawing level but they had to wait.
They were finally rewarded in the 65th minute when Travis Hilliman found the back of the net, much to the delight of his teammates and their fans. No further goals materialised and both teams walked away with one point each.
Rosignol made two second half changes as opposed to three by Den Amstel during the course of the encounter.
And at the BV ground, the lone encounter saw the home team going down to Western Tigers by the lone goal of the match from Rudolph Wagner in the 15th minute of another tough match-up.
