with a 1-0 win against Pele in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Stag Beer Elite League on Friday, at the Guyana Defence Force ground, Camp Ayanganna.

In the other game of the double header, League Genesis runner-up Alpha United and Fruta Conquerors encounter ended in a 1-1 draw. Darren Harris put Alpha United in the 36th minute with a neat finish into the lower left corner from the centre of the box, before Conquerors equalised in the 66th minute through Shaquille Agard after he dinked his effort over the advancing goalkeeper from a Jahaal Greaves through pass.
Both teams were awarded a point each.

In the opening encounter at 18:00hrs, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) tackle Buxton United, while GFC engages Monedderlust FC in the feature contest at 20:30hrs.
