KFC Elite League Season Six: Slingerz, GDF bag contrasting wins
The GPF FC tried to avoid it, but GDF FC still slipped two goals past them for a win
The KFC Elite League continued at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) National Training Center (NTC) at Providence on Monday evening with the top two teams in the league enjoying contrasting victories.
Slingerz FC gave a resounding boost to their goal difference, while the Guyana Defence Force eased past their law enforcement counterparts, thus these two teams remain the top two teams in Season Six of the KFC Elite League.
First up on Monday night was a clash between West Demerara’s Slingerz FC and Buxton United out of East Coast Demerara. Marcus Tudor opened the scoring for Slingerz in the 6th minute, and it was only until the 33rd that the next goal was witnessed, off the boots of Kemar Beckford. However, that goal opened the floodgates, and Slingerz went on to trash their opponents 11-0.
