GFF/KFC Elite League: Police move into top 3 after thrashing Monedderlust
…Western, Slingerz remain top 2
With a resounding 6-0 win over Monedderlust Football Club on Thursday night, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Football Club have forced themselves into third place on the points table, following the conclusion of the second round in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)/KFC Elite League Season Six.
The solitary match on Thursday night at the GFF’s National Training Centre (NTC), Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), looked evenly poised in the initial minutes, but as soon as the Policemen found their rhythm, Monedderlust succumbed to the pressure.
Threvon Pluck opened the scoring in the 27th minute, after which Dorwin George made it a 2-0 affair in the 34th minute. Before the half was called, Captain Pernell Schultz pushed the score to 3-0 after successfully taking a strike from the penalty mark.
