Pizza Hut GCC mauled GCC Spartans 7-0 PIZZA Hut GCC mauled GCC Spartans 7-0 when the Guyana Hockey Board (GHB)-organised Woodpecker Products-sponsored Women’s Hockey League got underway last Monday at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground. Tricia Fiedtkou opened the scoring for the winners in the ninth minute and 15 minutes later Marrana Fiedtkou made it 2-0 for the winners. Kerensa Fernandes then closed off the first half with a 28th minute goal to
give Pizza Hut GCC a commanding 3-0 lead. However, it was Under-21 player Aliyah Gordon, who played for the senior national team and who stole the spotlight in the second segment with a helmet-trick, with goals raining in the 40th, 54th, 57th and 58th minutes to give Pizza Hut GCC a 7-0 win. She already had two goals from her last game against Old Fort Shooting Stars so her tally is now six and she has overtaken Sonia Jardine who scored five in
the first game. The last field goal Jardine scored in the 58th minute. She showed great skill and speed, eliminating two defenders before dribbling the goalkeeper and walking into the goal with the ball. During last Monday’s game, Spartans had quite a few tries that were futile. This team is showing that the players will not be mauled by the more experienced team after Woodpecker Hikers were only able to score two goals the day before.

Frank Watson, who was an aircraft pilot. Sadly, Frank died in an aircraft crash in 1973, co-piloting a Cessna aircraft. Others players that the club attracted were: Terrence Archer who served as the club’s captain from 1985 to 1992. Archer also captained the Guyana national team for a number of years and was an outstanding defence player. Other outstanding players who represented the club and went on to represent Guyana at the international level were Wendell Manifold, who captained the team with distinction for a number of years; Patrick `Labba’ Barton, Ashton Taylor, Gordon `Ultimate Warrior’ Braithwaite and Terrence Haynes among others. Two years after the club was founded in the Albouystown YMCA building, Pele FC became a dominant force on the local scene and subsequently won local tournaments at all levels of the sport. In the early 1970s six of the club’s players received scholarships to Clemson University in the United States. A few years later, those
players who received scholarships to Clemson and a few others, who migrated, formed the Pele Alumni in the US, which is currently chaired by Dennis Carrington. Every five years, they return to Guyana and
Frank Watson contribute not only to the development of Pele FC’s members, but other clubs and youth organisations with an aim of keeping youths involved in sports while encouraging Guyana’s youths to secure a sound education. Current president of the club, Robbie Rambarran, Carrington and Alumni secretary Patrick `Labba’ Barton will be among other Alumni members handing over the computers to the National Library.
