Western Tigers elated with Elite League opening victory

It rained goals at the Police Sports Club Ground at Eve Leary on Sunday last when, in the first game of the 2023 Guyana Football Federation (GFF)- KFC Elite League tournament, Western Tigers FC humiliated Milerock FC in a 10-0 affair.
Following the entertaining display against that Linden team, midfielder Curtez Kellman, who also added his name to the scoresheet, described the massive win as a boost for his team.
“Definitely! You know, this is what we came out to do as a unit. The first game, we had one mentality to come out and grab three points, but the goals flowed as well, so I think it’s a boost for us, entering this league,” Kellman shared with media operatives following the game.
Quizzed about the preparation of the West Ruimveldt-based outfit, Kellman noted that it has been affected by inclement weather, but the team remained committed. The Golden Jaguars midfielder explained, “I mean, it’s a short notice. We have been preparing, but the weather hasn’t (permitted) us to train as we usually do, but preparation has come. Whenever we get a chance to work, we do so; and you see the players put out the intensity in the session and we work hard as a team because we know our aim for this.”

Kellman went on to share his team’s optimism of doing well in this year’s Elite League. “I think so. Yes! Definitely! In the group, we have a mixture of older folks along with young players as well, and that cohesion will help us to compete in this league,” Kellman said about Western Tigers’ chances of topping the Elite League this time around.
Western Tigers’ next game is against Buxton United Football Club on Tuesday at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Ground at Camp Ayanganna. That match is set to begin at 19:00hrs. For the third round of the League, Western Tigers will oppose Victoria Kings at the Eve Leary venue on Tuesday, May 30th.
