The opening match will be an all East Coast Demerara affair between fourth and fifth placed teams Buxton United and Victoria Kings FC. With previous SEL experience and a victory so far this season, Buxton United will begin as favourites but will not take the settled and Victoria Kings unit lightly.

Victoria Kings made their SEL debut on the opening night of the second edition of the league at DCC but got a royal baptism from points leaders, Guyana Defence Force (GDF) as they went down 1-7 while Buxton United registered their lone victory so far against Berbice side, Monedderlust FC right at the Tucville ground. Buxton United has three points and will be looking to move up the table while Kings will look to get their feet in and add to the one point they have from the drawn encounter against Fruta Conquerors in a competitive match.

In the feature game of the night, home team Fruta Conquerors who are second on the points table with four points (two behind GDF) will look to make better use of the home advantage when they take on Monedderlust FC from 20:00h. Conquerors last home game which was their last game was the draw with Kings when neither team was able to score. Conquerors defeated Linden’s Topp XX in their opening clash while their opponents lost to Buxton then beat Topp XX to sit in third position with three points.

After tonight’s games, the SEL will head to the mining town of Linden for the first time ever on Sunday for a double header. From 16:00h Buxton United will tackle Fruta Conquerors while home team Topp XX will meet points leaders, GDF at 18:00h. Both games will be played at the McKenzie Sports Club ground.
