BDF & Ibayani lead Caribbean Motors Cup football

The Belize Defense Force and Georgetown Ibayani continue to lead the Caribbean Motors Cup football competition organized by the Belize Premier Football League, now in its fourth week. BDF has 10 pts from 3 wins and a draw, while Ibayani has 9 pts from 3 wins.

FC Belize remains stuck in 3^rd place also with 9 pts after their third win 1-0 over the Hankook Verdes at the M.C.C. garden on Sunday.

Georgetown Ibayani romped to a 1-0 win over Corozal Shaniah at the Ricalde Stadium in Corozal on Sunday, when Deon Burgess scored the winning goal in the 57th minute of play.

The Paradise Freedom Fighters also posted their 2^nd win 1-0 when they visited BRC Blaze at the Isidoro Beaton Stadium on Saturday night. Devon Makin delivered the winning goal in the 78^th minute.

The Belize Defence Force muzzled the San Pedro Sea Dogs 1-0 on Saturday night. The island boys held the B.D.F. to a nil-zip draw up to the half time break, but Lisbey Castillo scored the winning goal for the BDF in the 58^th minute of play.

It seemed all the league games would be 1-0 wins as F.C. Belize also picked up their 3^rd win 1-0 over Hankook Verdes at the M.C.C. garden on Sunday. The Verdes strikers, Danny Jimenez, Windell Trapp and Marlon Meza made no impression on the FC Belize defenders Albert Thurton and Jose “Shaggy” Caceres, Byron Usher and Nigel Franklin, and FC Belize goalkeeper Linares put on a brilliant performance to shut out the Cayo visitors up to the break.

Delroy “Thinman” Flowers and Delwin Jones led the FC Belize attack with the help of midfielders Jerome Archer, Francisco Diaz, Roberto Bernardez and Jason Cadle, but they could not get the job done against the Verdes’ defenders Humberto Requena, Luis Mendez and Everald Trapp and midfielders Ricky Jimenez, Jose Monroy, Shamir Pacheco and Roy Cano recovered the ball to renew their attack.

Finally it was left to Delwin Jones to deliver the coup de grace with a header to finish a corner kick which beat Verdes’ goalie Jamie Brooks for the winning goal in the 48^th minute of play.
