Slingerz dismantle Fruta Conquerors 8-1 on Wade’s quadruple
GFF/Stag Elite League Finale…
Dominican forward Julian Wade scored a quadruple of goals to help Slingerz FC comprehensively defeat Fruta Conquerors on Friday in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Stag Elite League Finale at the Track and Field Facility, Leonora.
The game was a top of the table clash and dubbed as the match of the round where a ding-dong battle was expected. However, the heroics of Wade and the final score line, 8-1 made the pre-game into a one-sided affair. The result meant that Slingerz FC remains unbeaten in
Alpha’s scorers Solomon Austin, Dwayne Lawrence and Anthony Abrams
twelve games thus far.
It was Trayon Bobb who started the destruction in the 31st, followed by Wade in the 47th but a goal by the talented Eon Allyene brought the Conquerors back into the contest in the 49th, a match that if they won, they could have leveled with Slingerz at the top of the table on points.
It was the late second half blitz by Slingerz that really tore apart the Tucville based unit as in the space of nineteen minutes, six goals were scored against Fruta Conquerors.
Dominic Garnett netted in the 70th, which then saw a succession of three goals by the Wade in the 76th, 85th and 86th respectively.
Bobb (88th) and Garnett (89th) then treated themselves to a goal each which meant Slingerz inflicted the double of defeats on the Conquerors in the Finale and also are in the poll position to finish at the top of the League once more with just two matches remaining.
Fruta Conquerors on the other hand, will remain comfortably in second position, four points clear of their closest competitor, Alpha United.
In the other game of the night, Alpha United made light work of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) to win 3-1.
GDF’s Delroy Fraser was the man open the scoring with strike in the 13th minute and Alpha would have been just a tad worried as the first half ended in GDF’s favour.
The second half saw a complete twist in the game, as the formidable unit of Alpha were able to secure three goals off the feet of Dwayne Lawrence in the 52nd, Solomon Austin in the 68th and Anthony Abrams in the 79th .
GDF would be ruing the opportunity they had of equaling the fourth place Pele on points in what can be considered the greatest intrigue of the final matches, the battle for fourth place.
The League continues on Sunday at the same venue, where GDF play Monedderlust and then the Fruta Conquerors are in action against the Georgetown Football Club (GFC).
Action kicks-off at 18:00 hrs.
