The four semi-finalists have been determined for the inaugural Elite League Cup, after Slingerz Football Club brushed aside familiar foes Monedderlust FC in a solitary fixture at the Guyana Football Federation’s National Training Centre (NTC) at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) on Saturday night.
In a bid to secure the automatic semifinal spot out of Group A, Darron Niles opened the scoring for Slingerz FC in the 25th minute and later made it a 2-0 affair in the 39th. Rashaun Ritch found the back of the net in the 53rd and 66th minutes while the third brace from a Slingerz player came off the boots of Kemar Beckford in the 70th and 88th minutes. Curtez Kellman added the cherry on top for the reigning Elite League Champions, netting in the 90th minute to seal their 7-1 victory.
Delwin Fraser had earlier netted Monedderlust’s consolation goal in the 74th minute.
As such, Slingerz FC (Group A); Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC (Group B); Guyana Defence Force (GDF) FC (Group C) and Western Tigers (Best second-place team) have advanced to the semi-finals of the Elite League Cup.
The action will go down on Wednesday, March 4 at Providence. There, a repeat of the 2025/2026 year- end Super 16 final will unfold as Slingerz FC battle Western Tigers for the first final spot from 18:30h.
Then at 21:00h, a law enforcement clash will see GDF taking on Police in what is expected to be a mouthwatering double-header.
The teams in the Elite League Cup are competing for a $1 million grand prize. The second-place finishers will have to settle for $700,000 while the third- and fourth-place teams will cart off $500,000 and $300,000 respectively.
The grand finale is set for Saturday, March 7, 2026 at the same venue.
