A Dwayne Lawrence second half appearance inspired Alpha United to their first win of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Stag Beer Elite League, overcoming the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) 2-0 on Sunday at the GFC ground.

Unable to break the resolute Bourda side in the first half, Lawrence, upon entering the fixture in the 56th minute, assisted Kithson Bain’s 57th minute opener before finding the back of the net in the 66th minute to seal the hard-fought affair.

With the win, Alpha United moves into the fifth position with five points from three matches while GFC remains on one point in the seventh position.

The first period started brightly for the visitors in the sixth minute as Daniel Wilson rifled a powerful right footed shot from 21 yards out in the centre of the field,
