Bajans go down

BARBADOS suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago, losing 4-3 and 6-2 respectively, when the International Beach Soccer Tournament continued at Brandons on Saturday night.

In another game, top-ranked England narrowly defeated a determined Antigua and Barbuda side 6-5 with Aaron Clarke again starring for the winners with a hat-trick.

The first encounter saw Barbados and Guyana searching desperately for a first win, and it showed in the early exchanges.

The opening goal in an evenly contested affair eventually arrived just before the end of the first period. A penalty to Guyana following a foul was converted by Deshawn Joseph, who dusted himself down and calmly finished past Mario Albert to put his side ahead 1-0. (ML)
