BELIZE CITY, Mon. Dec. 16, 2019– The home-and-away championship series of the National Amateur Women’s League (NAWL) 2019-2020 Opening Season kicked off game 1 on Saturday, December 14, down south at the Cowpen Football Field, where it was Rumberas hosting defending champion Jewel Fury. And it ended with a 1-1 score, just like the first leg of the men’s national finals series between Verdes FC and Belmopan’s Bandits Sport, which held their 2nd leg yesterday in San Ignacio, with the home team, Verdes securing the championship.

First half in Cowpen was scoreless. The visitors, Jewel Fury took the lead early in second half on a goal by Jennisha Scott (60’), and it wasn’t until injury time before home standing Rumberas levelled the score with a goal from Jessica Acevedo (90+’).

The National Women Championship will be decided this coming Saturday in Belmopan, where the defending champion will be at home. Some of the best female footballers in the country will be strutting their stuff in what promises to be a real thriller. See you at the Isidoro Beaton.
