The second half of the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) Elite League season three commenced on Friday evening at the National Track and Field Center (NTFC) at Leonora with a double header that saw Fruta Conquerors and Den Amstel emerging comfortable winners.
In the opening match, as expected, Fruta Conquerors shot to the top of the points table after making light work of Victoria Kings with a 5-0 drubbing of the East Coast Demerara based team.
By the end of the first half, the Tucville team were already four goals up, courtesy of a brace by skipper Eon Alleyne with successful strikes in the 21st and 40th minutes before Dennis Edwards opened the scoring in the 3rd minute followed by Ryan Hackett doubling Conquerors’ lead in the 8th.
The second half was much quieter and Raushan Ritch was the fourth player on the Conquerors team to get on the scoresheet when he fired home just three minutes before stoppage time.
West Coast Demerara based Den Amstel FC, in their home territory, added to the woes of defending league champions, Guyana Defence Force Football Club (GDF FC) with a 3-0 trouncing. After a relatively stiff first half, Den Amstel managed to score all of their goals during the second period of play.
Gideon Payne netted first in the 48th before national forward Delon Lanferman successfully converted a penalty kick in the 83rd. Kevaughn Ward then joined the party with an 87th minute strike as GDF FC were pressing hard, looking for a goal.
More league action is set for this evening with a triple head at the NTFC at Leonora. In the first match which will be played between Ann’s Grove and Buxton in an all-East Coast affair from 16:00hrs followed by Cougars versus Den Amstel at 18:00hrs and Milerock against Western Tigers at 20:00hrs.
