The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) reached another stumbling block with their Elite League and this time it is in the form of rain when it was set to resume on Sunday at the Georgetown Football Club, Bourda.
However, the inclement over the weekend left the ground in an unsuitable state of play. The federation has not yet released a rescheduled date.
Sunday’s action was billed to be a scorcher given the top players teams acquired during the January transfer window. Guyana Defence Force were set to meet Den Amstel followed by the clash of the night in Western Tigers and Fruta Conquerors.
Director of Competitions, Ian Alves had stated, “ this phase of the League will see a more competitive brand of football: “Now that the mid-season transfer has concluded, clubs would have been able to make the necessary adjustments to their squads with a view to improving their performance for the remainder of the Elite League”.
He added “ Based on some of the player transfers seen during the window, fans can look forward with eager anticipation to more competitive matches and a more attractive brand of football for the remaining part of the League.”
After the first two matches, East Coast Demerara based units of Den Amstel and Victoria Kings along with the Tucville based Fruta Conquerors lead the 10-team points table with six points apiece.
Season two winner GDF and Western Tigers are in fourth and fifth on four points respectively while Buxton United are in sixth with three points. Milerock, New Amsterdam United Ann’s Grove and Cougars FC have failed to secure a point.
