Den Amstel hammer Wales 14-0 to reach semis

Defending champion Pouderoyen sealed their place in the semi-finals of the Den Amstel Mash Knockout Cup, crushing Stewartville 5-0 Friday at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.

Alonzo Bowman broke the deadlock in the 24th minute when he latched onto a pass from Morgan Denny before racing into the box and finishing past the opposing custodian.

Bowman completed his double 10 minutes later to extend his team’s lead, slotting home into the back of the net after a shot from Quessi Alleyne struck the woodwork and fell into his path.

Upon the resumption of the second period, Esan Nelson made it 3-0 in the 55th minute, latching onto a long ball over the backline before lashing his effort past the left side of the goalkeeper.

Alleyne then took over the scoring burden five minutes later, dribbling the left-back marker while cutting into the penalty box and stabbing the ball under the advancing shot-stopper.

The scoreline was completed in the 78th minute when Alleyne sealed his brace, easily tapping into the net from inside the area, after collecting a cross from the left side.

Meanwhile, tourney hosts Den Amstel walloped Wales FC 14-0 in the second quarterfinal fixture of the evening. The other two matches of the tournament will pit Eagles FC against Young Achievers and Uitvlugt Warriors against Golden Warriors at a date to be announced.
