Speightland reign supreme in ‘Kings and Queens of the Sand’ Football 

Defending champions Speightland laid down a significant marker in the 2025 ‘One Guyana’ Kings and Queens of the Sand football competition, emphatically overcoming Fearless 4-1 as the tournament continued at the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP-C) Linden office ground.

Despite conceding in the opening minute, Speightland, the reigning queens of the sand, demonstrated their champion pedigree. N. Wayne proved instrumental, bagging a brace in the 4th and 10th minutes, before T. Williams (15th) and Shanella Pearson (16th) sealed a comprehensive victory.

In the fiercely contested men’s ‘Kings’ segment, five matches produced five victories, underlining the competitive spirit on display.

Bomberz soared to a 4-2 win against Rockstone, powered by two goals apiece from Shemiah Samuels (4th, 16th) and Dequan Samuels (8th, 26th).

Rockstone found the net through Isiah Allicock, who struck twice (12th, 18th), but it wasn’t enough to deny Bomberz.

Young Gunners showcased their resilience, recovering from an early setback to defeat UDK Victors 2-1. Kenneth James had given UDK Victors a 4th-minute lead, but late goals from Devonte Tappin (22nd) and Lency Barker (30th) secured a hard-fought comeback victory for Young Gunners.

Team Mineral delivered a dominant performance, dispatching Speightland’s male counterparts 4-0. Kelroy Anthony was the star with a double (13th, 29th), adding to Jermaine King’s 9th-minute opener and Delon Charter’s 24th-minute strike.

Ony Syde were equally impressive in their 4-1 triumph over Turf President. After Isiah Adams’ 5th-minute opener for Ony Syde was cancelled out by Turf President’s Clifton Charles three minutes later, Ony Syde took control.

Kriston Lewis restored their lead in the 16th minute before a late double from Ryan Arthur (28th, 30th) ensured a comfortable win.

The night’s action was rounded off by Foundation Family, who secured a solid 3-1 victory against Lil Ballers.

The competition continued on Saturday evening at the same Linden venue.
