Following an exciting opening night on Saturday, the excitement boiled over into Sunday evening as the 2026/27 Elite League continued with another double-header.
Football fans flocked the Guyana Football Federation’s National Training Centre (NTC) at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), where two close encounters unfolded; one including 2025’s top teams.
Santos Football Club started the night’s proceedings with a 2-1 victory over Ann’s Grove United FC.
Yohance Francis put Ann’s Grove ahead in the 10th minute, but their lead was short-lived as Tyrice Dennis found the back of the net in the 34th for a 1-1 score at the half.
It was Santos’ Ian Daniels who found the game winner in the 71st minute to secure his team’s three points.
That was followed by a clash of the League’s 2025 top two finishers in Slingerz FC and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC.
Ironically, it was Neron Barrow’s 23rd-minute strike which made the difference between the two teams as Slingerz registered a 1-0 victory. Barrow had competed for Police in 2025, ending the league as the highest goal-scorer before transferring to Slingerz FC in the June-July 2026 transfer window.
The Elite League will continue next weekend with another pair of double-headers.
On Saturday, September 5, Police FC battle Fruta Conquerors FC from 18:30h, while Monedderlust FC and Den Amstel FC face off from 21:00h.
On Sunday, September 6, Slingerz FC go toe-to-toe with the League’s debutants Camptown FC from 18:30h while Western Tigers take on GDF FC from 21:00h.
The teams in the 2026/ 27 Elite League are competing for an increased $4 million grand prize.
