Uitvlugt Warriors and Pouderoyen FC punched their ticket to the next round of the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) 2nd Annual Josiah Memorial Christmas Football Championship, securing contrasting opening night wins over Eagles and Bagotville on Friday at the Dem Amstel ground.
Pouderoyen overcame the youthful Eagles outfit by a 3-1 score line on penalty kicks after normal and extra time finished 1-1.
Asked to take first strike from the distance, Eagles started the shoot-out poorly as they were denied by Pouderoyen’s custodian Sherwin Bernard. Pouderoyen quickly capitalized on the mistake with Marvin Frank scoring in their first attempt.
It went from bad to worse for Eagles as Keron Schmidt was denied by the outstanding Bernard in the second round.
