Pouderoyen climbed atop the third annual Stag Beer West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) League standings, mauling newcomers Vege Boyz 9-2 on Saturday at the Den Amstel Community ground.
It was a rude entry into the senior ranks for the youngsters from Vergenoegen who could only watch helplessly as Morgan Denny and Troy Rampat Allicock netted hat tricks whilst Kwesi Alleyne supported with a double.
Denny found the back of the net in the ninth, 25th and 40th minutes while Allicock etched his name on the scorer’s sheet in the 20th, 22nd and 40th minutes respectively.
On the other hand, Alleyne recorded his brace in the 30th and 43rd minutes. Assisting in the rout was Dwayne St. Kitts in the 27th minute. For the losing team, Alvin Benjamin and Shemar Marcus scored in the 32nd and 36th minutes respectively.
With the result, Pouderoyen move atop the standings on four points while the losers occupy the cellar position having yet to score a point. Meanwhile, Young Achievers got off to a perfect start in their campaign, downing Jetty Gunners by a 3-0 score line.
Lloyd Prince opened the scoring with a 15th minute effort while Lexroy Manfield spurned a great chance to double his side’s lead in the 28th minute as he inexplicably blasted the ball over the crossbar from inside the six yard box unchallenged.
It was an opportunity that was easier to score than to actually miss. Nonetheless, Prince and Stephon Jupiter secured the result with second half conversions in the 62nd and 66th minutes respectively.
Marring the win for Young Achievers was the 72nd sending off of Akeem Scott who picked up his second yellow card. Due to the result, Young Achievers now move to the second position on three points because of their superior goal differential while Jetty Gunners remain pointless.
Action in the event is slated to continue this Saturday and Sunday at the same venue.
All matches will be played at Den Amstel Community Centre ground. Prize monies for the top four finishers will be announced shortly by the association.
