GDF march to early ISAC lead

The soldiers ambushed the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to set their title defence in motion; they lead with 10 points, with the Police on eight points; Guyana Fire Service (GFS) on six points and the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) on four points.
The GDF team of Orwin Cornette, Cleveland Forde, Jamaul Chisholm, Tyshon Bentick and Carlissa Atkinson held no hostages on the road, and raced to a commanding win over the Police’s Dennis Horatio, Trevor Scotland, Kevin Bayley, Edward DaSilva and Tracey Moses.
GDF Coach, Robert Chisholm told Kaieteur Sport that he is optimistic that the force will come away with a commanding victory at the Championships that continue tomorrow and Wednesday with the Heats ahead of Friday’s Grand Finale at Base Camp Ayangana. “We know that we will win easier than last year,” Chisholm said.
The Defence Force had snatched the title out of the cuffs of the police last year with a nail-biting one-point victory. The Police are out to re-arrest the title, but they face an uphill battle against a confident Defence Force unit.
