Eagles FC overcame a late surge from Uitvlugt to win 3-2 when the West Demerara section of the National Milling Company [NAMILCO] U17 Football League commenced yesterday at the National Track and Field Center, Leonora.
Leading comfortably at 3-0 with 20 minutes remaining on the clock, Eagles would be given a scare as Uitvlugt initiated a comeback, bagging two goals in the space of 13 minutes to setup a tense ending.
The first came in the 70th minute to reduce the deficit to 3-1 when Shaquan Gilkes lashed home a powerful strike into the far corner to etch his name on the scorer’s sheet.
