Goal-scoring fiesta on second night of Corona football

By Treiston Joseph 

A total of 29 goals were scored during night two of the Corona Football Championship on Wednesday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground, Bourda. Fans of one-sided affairs got their wish as all the games were easily decided.

Western Tigers, in the first game of the night, hammered Black Pearl 13-nil. Black Pearl FC was simply outplayed and outclassed by Western Tigers in the match that was far from competitive.

Andrew Murray Jr scored a helmet-trick for Western with goals in the 15^th, 55^th, 80^th and 83^rd minutes, while Hubert Pedro (3^rd, 37^th), Devon Millington (10^th, 29^th) and Dwayne McLennon (33^rd, 59^th) scored doubles.

Linden Pickett (22^nd), Mark Gittens (56^th) and Darren Benjamin (79^th) also scored solo efforts in the demolition. Meanwhile, with Camptown topping GFC 1-nil with Oziel Small being on target, Police had a field day with Beacons in the final match of the night.

Police routed Beacons 14-1 to end the night’s action in another one-sided game. Goal after goal was the order of the match with Quincy Holder scoring a helmet-trick in the seventh, 37^th, 39^th and 45^th minutes.

Anthio Wallace also had a helmet-trick in the match, troubling the back of the net in 21^st, 47^th, 70^th and 78^th minutes, while Stephon Ramsey had a hat-trick in the 34^th, 42^nd and 84^th minutes.

Dwain Jacobs also got into the scoring with a double in the 72^nd and 81^st minutes, while Jermaine Granderson had his lone goal in the 13^th minutes. Christopher Galloway was the man to score for Beacon in the 43^rd minute to at least give the lowly side some semblance of pride.

Matches in the tournament will continue on Friday at the Georgetown Football Club, ground.
