Ebony Lake FC leads Over-35 football 5-0
Belize City, January 17, 2010

The Ebony Lake FC posted their 5th win 1-0 over Plaza United at the MCC garden on Sunday, to lead the Belize City over-35 football competition with 15 pts.
The Ebony Lake took the game to Plaza United from the getgo with Paulie “Fabulous” Bradley and Bernard “Dubu” Thomas leading the charge, backed up by Kenton Graham and Erlin Usher on the flank. Herman “Chicken” Gentle and Floyd Burgess were doing their best to break up the plays by Plaza midfielders Brian Kelly, Stanley “Jordan” Reneau and Dave Flowers to renew their attack, winning a corner kick which almost allowed “Dubu” Thomas to score with a header, but Plaza goalie Valentine Ferguson handled the challenge.
Guillermo Fuentes, Benjamin Mejia and Rudolph “Super” Humes led Plaza’s counterattack with rocket shots on goal that skidded over the crossbar, much to goalie Glenn Arzu’s relief. Francis Dunn, Ronald Usher, Kenrick Parchue and Lance “Shyne” Usher anchored the Ebony Lake defense to keep Mejia and Fuentes in check, while Arzu grabbed a save to deny Humes’ attempt to head in a goal.
Ferguson easily handled Paulie Bradley’s first “soft pop” shot on goal and the Plaza defensive line: Marcus Swazo, Cardell Bernardez and Richard Lopez took care of all other challenges to hold the game to a nil-zip draw up to the half time break.
Meantime Plaza beefed up its offensive line with Michael “Water Plait” Flowers taking over from a banged-up Fuentes and Evan Neal entered the ball game for Brian Kelly; later Maino Bevans came off the bench to relieve Flowers. Eian Henry also entered the game as Plaza sought to put away the game with a1-0 win, but it was not to be.
Plaza blundered in passing the ball backward, instead of exploiting the space on the sideline to move the ball forward, an error that cost them dearly when Maurice “Magic” Francis came off the bench, intercepted Plaza’s errant pass and set table for Lance “Shyne” Usher to embarrass Ferguson with the winning goal in the 87th minute of play.
In the other over-35 match up, Kulture Yabra burned City Stars 4-1 in the nightcap. Emerson Jones drew first blood for Yabra, and Charlie Slusher made it 2-0 with a penalty conversion as Yabra took a 2-0 lead into the half time break.
Slusher converted a 2nd penalty in the 2nd half to lead 3-0, and Jaime made it 4-0. The City Stars finally got on the scoreboard when Anthony Michael scored a late, consolation goal.
