GFA League: Northern Rangers, Camptown start campaigns with wins
Marlon Bethel netted the game-winner for Camptown FC
The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) National Training Centre (NTC) at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was a hive of activity on Wednesday night as the Georgetown Football Association (GFA), in collaboration with Champs GY, kicked off the 2025 Senior Men’s League.
Fans were treated to a doubleheader that saw Northern Rangers and Camptown Football Clubs getting the first three points of the single-round league.
In the opening game, Northern Rangers dominated North Star FC with a 3-0 victory. Alaistair Holder broke the ice in the 28th minute, giving Rangers a slim 1-0 lead at halftime.

Then, in the second segment, David Coates joined Holder on the scoresheet, finding the back of the net in the 54th minute. As North Star struggled to penetrate their opponent’s defences, Otto Jones added the cherry on top for Northern Rangers, with third goal in the 84th minute.
The second game of the evening saw Camptown FC edge past an unsuspecting Beacon FC to claim their three points. Campbellville-based striker Marlon Bethel struck in the 27th minute, capitalising on a set-piece build-up to net what proved to be the lone goal and match-winner.
Twelve teams are competing in this year’s GFA Senior Men’s League for a $1,000,000 grand prize and the chance to challenge for a spot in the 2026 Elite League. The second, third and fourth-place finishers will walk away with $500,000, $300,000 and $200,000 respectively.
