Region Seven hosted Region Eight at the Municipal Centre Ground of Bartica Town, Region Seven on December 25th,2022, and dominated the Encounter to win 3 Goals -1 Goal while the formidable Region Four sealed their Spot in the next Phase via a 2-1 win over Region Six at the Buxton Community Centre Ground.
Simmons made his First successful Shot on Target in the Eighth Minute, followed by another in the Second Minute of the First-Half Injury Time.
Levi Wilson looked to make it interesting by pulling One back for the Lads from Potaro – Siparuni, in the 76th, however, Nine Ninutes later, Simmons put the Match “to bed” for Region Seven, and completed his “Hat-Trick”.
Meanwhile, the Number of Goals would have reduced for Region Four, but the Wins are still coming as they got the better of Region Six 2-1.
Region Six took the lead in the 60th via Devon James, but an own Goal by Murphy Felix Three Minutes later brought the Demerara – Mahaica Side “back into the Mix”.
Threvon Pluck then sealed the Match for Region Four in the 72nd Minute.
