GDF set Elite League record with 36-0 drubbing of Mainstay

With Lake Mainstay Goldstar already conceding in excess of 100 goals in their debut season of the Guyana Football Federation’s Elite League, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Football Club added insult to injury for the FC: sending 36 unanswered goals past the keeper.
The contest came on Monday at the GFF’s National Training Centre (NTC) in Providence, where Mainstay were all out of answers and hope in the defeat.
Makhaya Jervis opened the scoring for GDF in the second minute, followed by strikes in the third and sixth. He went on to complete a seven-goal haul, with goals in the 14th, 16th, 22nd and 23rd minutes. However, Stephen McDonald had the largest personal tally of the night, finding the back of the net in the 37th, 44th, 45th, 45th+1, 55th, 58th, 71st, 83rd and 88th minutes for 12 goals. Teenaged sensation Quaency Fraser got in on the action, scoring in the 49th, 56th, 59th, 80th, 82nd, 85th and 86th minutes. Also, for GDF, Shemar Scott (12th, 30th, 52nd) netted a hat-trick while braces came off the boots of Abumuchi Opara (31st, 43rd); Malcolm Miggins (32nd, 72nd); Trayon Bobb (33rd, 39th) and Colwyn Adams (75th, 90th) while Isaiah Ifill (87th) and Keron Spencer (77th) added solitary goals to the massive tally.

In stark contrast, just one goal separated the two teams in the following match-up as Santos FC pulled off the upset against Western Tigers. Santos’ Kymani Sealey netted the game winner in just the third minute after which his team’s defence locked in for the win.
On Saturday, Monedderlust FC and Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC found themselves in the winners’ circle.
Monedderlust edged Fruta Conquerors 2-1 on the back of an Atlyn Brown brace in the 8th and 34th minutes. Fruta Conquerors’ lone reply came in the 54th off the boots of Simeon Lovell.
Meanwhile, Police cruised to a 6-0 win over Ann’s Grove United. Nicholas McArthur got proceedings going in the ninth minute, while Neron Barrow netted a double in the 33rd and 51st minutes. Carl Griffith (61st), Ryan Hackett (72nd) and Jemar Harrigan (90th) later scored one each for the win.
The Elite League is set to continue this Saturday at the same venue. At 18:30h, both Ann’s Grove United and Western Tigers will be hunting redemption, followed by a clash between Fruta Conquerors ad GDF at 21:00h.
Then on Sunday, Police go head-to-head with Mainstay Goldstar from 18:30h while Monedderlust and Santos FC do battle from 21:00h.
