Pele came back with a bang after losing their first game of the Stag Elite League (SEL) when they handed Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United their fist loss of the league via a 3-0 score-line in feature game of Wednesday night’s double header at the Guyana Defence Force ground, Camp Ayanganna.

The Lethal Quartet! Slingerz marksmen from right, Julian Wade, Vurlon Mills, Dextroy Adams and Anthony Abrams.

The opening game produced a huge 5-0 win for Slingerz FC over Georgetown Football Club as the former club continues to dig deep after losing three points for not taking the field for their clash against eh GDF last week.
Pele led the eagerly anticipated clash 2-0 at half time, when the two sides had faced off in the first round, the match ended 2-2 at the GFC ground. This time around however, the contest was different as Pele dominated for longer periods as they outmuscled Alpha.
While the tournament’s leading goal scorer Gregory Richardson was Pele’s trump card with both goals in the first encounter, on Wednesday night, Pele displayed much more depth in the attacking third with goals from Romel Gordon in the 15th minute, Jermaine Summerset four minutes later while the sealer came off the boot of Jamal Cozier four minutes to full time.
The win for Pele solidified their hold at the top of the points table with 17, they have scored as many goals and have also recorded the most wins after eight rounds of competition. Alpha remains in second place four points adrift of Pele and have conceded the least amount of goals so far.
GFC, having looked good in the earlier rounds was unfortunately taking on a Slingerz side that has looked one of the more organised units in attack and defense so far, their goal difference of +8 to Pele +9 being very instructive.
From the start of the match it was clear that Slingerz was in a no nonsense mood. Veteran Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams sent them on their way in the 21st minute and it was no looking back as they dominated GFC.
The Bourda boys did keep Slingerz at bay for the remainder of the first half but the flood gates opened in the second. Vurlon Mills in the 54th, Dextroy Adams with a brace in the 60th and 61st and Julian Wade in the 63rd completed Slingerz’ dominance in the game, a performance which saw them moving from fifth place to third.
