Kaieteur Sports – The commencement of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League Promotional Playoffs took place last Sunday, igniting energy at both the Eve Leary ground in Georgetown and Anna Regina. This tournament, meticulously structured, brings together nine formidable teams from the Member Associations’ Leagues, vying fiercely for a coveted spot in the prestigious Elite League Season Six set for 2024.
The kickoff witnessed a trio of exhilarating matches. Slingerz Football Club (FC) made an emphatic entry into the competition, dominating with a stunning 6-0 win against Dominators FC in Anna Regina. Simultaneously in Georgetown, Buxton Stars and Tabatinga FC secured their first victories. Buxton triumphed over Beacon FC with a 2-1 win in penalty kicks, while Tabatinga decisively defeated Herstelling Raiders FC with a commanding score of 3-1.
