KFC Elite League: Slingerz, GDF in ‘Clash of the Titans’ tonight
The first half of the 2024 KFC Elite League Season Six is expected to come to a thrilling close tonight. The ‘Senior Football’ clash of the year is scheduled to go down at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF’s) National Training Center at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
For the first time since their return to the highest League of the land, Slingerz FC will match strides with defending Champions Guyana Defence Force (GDF) FC.
Tonight’s ‘Clash of the Titans’ will come as part of a double header being played at the Providence venue that would signal 45 games having been completed in this year’s League.
First, at 18:30hrs, Santos FC would lock horns with Western Tigers FC, while the feature game is set for 21:00hrs.
Slingerz FC are gearing up for their anticipated clash with GDF FC
What makes the clash even sweeter is the fact that both GDF and Slingerz are yet to taste defeat in this year’s Elite League; and further, they are yet to drop a point, having won all of their matches. While both teams have a perfect 24 points from 8 games played, GDF holds the advantage with a goal difference of 36. On the other hand, Slingerz’s goal difference currently sits at 33. An outright result in today’s clash would clearly define the gap between the two teams, heading into the second half of Season 6.
Meanwhile, most of the other 6 teams in the League have their points set in stone after completing their allotted matches in the first half. The Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC, after losses to the ‘big two’ teams and a 1-1 draw with Fruta Conquerors on Thursday last, have 19 points from 9 games played. Just below are Western Tigers with 12 points from 7 games, while Santos FC are fifth with 12 points from 8 games. Den Amstel FC comes next with 10 points from 8 games, while Fruta Conquerors have an equal 10 points from 9 games played. All having completed their 9 games, Ann’s Grove United, Monedderlust FC and Buxton United FC occupy the bottom three spots with 7, 4 and 1 respectively.
After tonight’s double header, the FKFC Elite League 2024 is expected to resume on Saturday, May 18.
