Elite League 2025… : Police, Santos, GDF are latest winners
Three teams – the Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC, defending champions Guyana Defence Force (GDF) FC and Santos Football Club secured victories when the seventh edition of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League continued over the weekend.
Ravi Coates netted a hat-trick for Santos FC
Police FC were the first to taste victory, taking on hosts Monedderlust FC at the No 5 Ground when the League took a road trip to the Ancient County of Berbice on Saturday afternoon. There, Police’s Nicholas McArthur broke the ice between the two sides in the 22nd minute followed by a Neron Barrow hat-trick in the 45th, 59th and 78th minutes that would lift Police to a 4-0 win.

Then, a Ravi Coates hat-trick spurred a 3-0 win for Santos FC against Lake Mainstay Goldstar in the first of a double- header on Sunday. Though Lake Mainstay appeared to be more formidable than a month prior when they got their first taste of the League, Santos still managed to penetrate their defences through Coates in the 19th, 36th and 49th minutes.

The second game on that day resulted in defending champions GDF FC bouncing back after a narrow loss in their last outing. GDF got the better of Fruta Conquerors FC 2-0. Amos Ramsay struck first for the soldiers just on the brink of half- time and Abumuchi Opara was the other marksmen in that affair, finding the back of the net in the 84th minute.
Currently being led by Slingerz FC with a perfect 12 points from four games played, the Elite League is set to continue next weekend.
