Western Tigers top group in Corona Beer football

Western Tigers secured the top spot in Group-B of the Corona Beer Invitational Football Championship, edging Guyana Police Force (GPF) 2-1 on Sunday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground, Bourda.

The West Ruimveldt unit opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Dwayne McLennon netted. McLennon raced onto a through pass before dribbling the central defender and finishing past the goalkeeper into the back of the net.

However, the lawmen equalised in the 42nd minute through Anthio Wallace. The speedy forward lashed his effort into the back of the net after a poor clearance by defender Linden Pickets, swathe ball falling into his path.
