KFC Elite League Cup: Den Amstel, Buxton battle for positions today

…Police, Santos pick up wins last weekend

There is expected to be a keen battle on at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary tonight, as teams in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) organised-KFC Elite League Cup attempt to get their hands on much-needed points as the group stage winds down.
With most teams having just one more game to go before the semi-final stage, intensity in the KFC Elite League Cup is taking shape.
Currently, usual suspects the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) FC are leading the table in Group A, as they remain unbeaten with nine points from three games.
In group B, Western Tigers lead the charge with nine points from three games as well, also being unbeaten thus far.
However, below the high flyers lies a ferocious fight to qualify. Prior to last weekend, Buxton United FC and Den Amstel FC sit at second place in Groups A and B respectively.

In Group A, Fruta Conquerors and Milerock both have one point each from a lone draw against each other. However, Conquerors have the better goal difference of the two and as such, sit higher on the table.
In Group B, Ann’s Grove United have three points and sit at fourth place, while Victoria Kings were unable to pick up any points in four games and sit at the bottom of the group.
But, with Santos FC and the Guyana Police Force FC picking up wins over the past weekend, they have ousted Buxton and Den Amstel from the second-place position.
To move up to the spot, Santos FC eased past Fruta Conquerors 2-0 at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary, Georgetown.
Stefan Reynolds and Darren Niles were the marksmen in the 45th and 59th minutes for Santos.
Then later that evening, a double from Adrian Aaron led the home team Police to a similar 2-0 victory over Victoria Kings FC. Aaron netted in the 32nd and 85th minutes.
In a bid to regain their previous positions, Den Amstel and Buxton United will be in action when the League Cup continues tomorrow evening.
First, Den Amstel will take on Ann’s Grove United FC at 19:00h, while Buxton United and Milerock FC do battle from 21:00h; both at the Eve Leary Ground.
The winners of the KFC League Cup will cart off $1.5 million, while second place will pocket $1 million. Third place will receive $500,000, while fourth place will have to settle for $250,000.
