The Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) 2017-2018 Elite League will resume on Sunday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground with two mouth watering clashes. The first of the two matches which begins at 17:30hrs will feature national champions, Guyana Defence Force (GDF) against current league leaders Den Amstel, who are based in West Demerara.
The feature game to kick off at 19:30hrs will bring together city sides, Western Tigers and Fruta Conquerors in a much anticipated encounter.
Its early days yet in the league with only two completed rounds but Den Amstel will be out to prove that they can maintain their grip at the top of the table which is as a result of a better goal difference over Fruta Conquerors and Victoria Kings which also have two wins out of two games.
In the just concluded January transfer window, Den Amstel was quick to get their work done by acquiring their targets early on. The West Demerara team’s most notable transfer was that of Golden Jaguar Kester Jacobs to go along with the likes of 21-year-old central midfielder, Marvin Frank and the national under-20 duo of Chris Macey (central attacking midfielder) and Jurmaine Cumerbatch (goalkeeper).
GDF were late to secure moves in the transfer market but still managed to acquire the GFC Nigerian duo of Benjamin Opara and Kenneth Oparamateuche. Fans will be eager to see how the new signings fit into the existing squads.
New signings Daniel Wilson (Western Tigers) and Gregory ‘Jackie Chan’ Richardson (Fruta Conquerors) will definitely be the focal points of the feature match while forward Sunil Logan (Northern Rangers to Fruta Conquerors) will be anxious to get some playing time with his new club. Admission fee to enter the venue is $500 on all match days.
