Last Shot: Slingerz, Victoria Kings vie for final spot in GFF Elite League Season Six
– Battle in January 14 eliminator match
Kaieteur Sports – The outcome of the January 14 Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League Promotion Playoff Eliminator Match between Slingerz and Victoria Kings Football Clubs will determine which team will claim the highly sought-after second position in the Elite League Season Six which starts in February.
Sunday’s showdown will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Ministry of Education Ground (MoE) on Carifesta Avenue in Georgetown.
On January 8, Monedderlust of the Berbice Football Association secured a 1-0 victory over West Demerara Football Association’s Slingerz in the GFF Elite League Promotion Playoff final, earning automatic promotion to Season Six of the Elite League.
The Eliminator Match gives Slingerz a renewed opportunity to return to the Elite League, and the struggling Victoria Kings, who finished second to last in Elite League Season Five, a crucial chance to retain their spot as an Elite League team.
Competition Director Troy Peters foresees an intense showdown between two determined teams set on playing in the upcoming Elite League Season Six. “The GFF anticipates an exhilarating clash between these two teams, both fiercely committed to playing in the eagerly anticipated Elite League Season Six. Fans should prepare for an electrifying and tension-filled showdown,” Peters said.
The GFF Elite League Promotional Playoff kicked off on December 17 and featured nine triumphant teams from the Member Associations’ Leagues battling fiercely for a prized automatic entry into the esteemed Elite League Season Six.
Participating clubs were Beacons (Bartica Football Association), Beacons (Georgetown Football Association), Buxton Stars (East Coast Demerara Football Association), Dominator (Essequibo/Pomeroon Football Association), Herstelling Raiders (East Bank Demerara Football Association), Monnederlust (Berbice Football Association), Slingerz (West Demerara Football Association), Tabatinga (Rupununi Football Association), and Winners Connection (Upper Demerara Football Association).
Kicking off the action on Sunday will be the GFF Women’s League Division One encounter between Guyana Defence Force and Potaro Strikers at 5:00 p.m.
Guyana Defence Force holds the second position on the table, tallying 12 points from their games. Meanwhile, Guyana Police Force leads the table with 12 points from five games.
Fruta Conquerors currently sits in third place with nine points accumulated from three wins and two losses. Following closely in fourth is Potato Strikers with four points from four games—two losses, one draw, and one win.
In fifth is Pakuri Jaguars with one point from three losses and one draw. In contrast, Santos has yet to gain a point, suffering four losses across four games.
Women’s Football Association (WFA) President Andrea Johnson anticipates Sunday’s match between Guyana Defence Force and Potato will be a memorable showdown. “January 8 marked an exhilarating continuation of the GFF Women’s League Division One, witnessing a memorable clash between the top contenders, Guyana Defence Force and Guyana Police Force. This upcoming Sunday, we anticipate nothing short of the same excitement.”
The leagues represent the cornerstone of GFF President Wayne Forde’s vision for advancing club football’s growth. They provide players with a platform to exhibit their skills, drawing the attention of scouts focused on talent acquisition for the advancement of Guyana’s national teams and senior clubs across regional and global landscapes.
