GDF-Police rematch in women’s play-off final

It will be a battle between the usual suspects this Saturday, when the Women’s Division One League Cup play-offs culminate in what is expected to be another nail-biting clash, this time for a $300,000 grand prize.
The Guyana Police Force (GPF) Women and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Women will butt head s again, in the play-offs final, set for Saturday, December 27, following comfortable wins in the semi-finals on Friday last.
Police’s Women were the first to book their spot in the coveted final, cruising past Santos FC’s Women 4-0 in semifinal one.

Initially, Police found it difficult to get past Santos’ defence; however, that all changed with a few early changes around the 20-minute mark. By the 22nd minute, Amanda Mckenzie won her battle with a Santos defender, sending the ball across the face of the goal to Jenelle Edmondosn, who needed only to tape the ball into the net to break the ice.
With a 1-0 advantage at the half, Police had a much better second segment with goals coming off the boots of Shanic Thornhill (22nd), McKenzie (56th) and Tiandi Smith in the 60th+1 for the 4-0 win.
Meanwhile, the Guyana Defence Force FC’s Women ensured they would meet their nemesis in the final, rolling over Fruta Conquerors’ Women 8-0 in semifinal two.

Glendy Lewis registered their first strike in just the fifth minute and thereafter, it was an uncharacteristically long wait before GDF could add another to their tally. By the 22nd minute, Sandra Johnson had found her rhythm, registering her first goal. Johnson completed her four- goal haul in the 26th, 28th and 41st minutes while Lewis capped off her brace with a strike in the 25th. Zoruna Ali (50th) and Glengie Lewis (60th) further added to GDF’s total before the final whistle was sounded.
The play-off final is set to get underway at 19:30h on Saturday while the third-place playoff will see Santos and Fruta Conquerors going head-to-head at 18:00h.
The winner will take home the $300,000 grand prize while second place will have to settle for $200,000. The third-place finisher will pocket $100,000 while fourth place will receive $50,000.
