POINTS leader of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and FIFA’s `Win in CONCACAF with CONCACAF’ National League Alpha United will take on Bartica’s Liquid Gold this afternoon from 15:30 h at the Bartica Community Centre ground.

A double-header is also set for the Enmore Community Centre ground, while one match each will be played at the Uitvlugt Community Centre and Blairmont Community Centre grounds.

At the Blairmont ground, Milerock of Linden will do battle with second-placed Rosignol United of Berbice from 15:30 h. At the Uitvlugt ground, Seawall United of West Demerara tackle Topp XX of Linden.

Alpha, with 11 points to their name, will be seeking to maintain the lead in the points standing as they seek to add the inaugural GFF National League title to the Georgetown Football Association’s Cellink Plus Premier League title which they recently won.

While they will be without the services of midfielder Quincy Madramootoo, who was red-carded during the team’s last game, they will still be starting with a star-studded line-up that includes team captain Howard Lowe along with national strikers Shawn Bishop and Dwight Peters.

Their line-up will also include Leon Grumble, Wendell St Hill, Kevon Smith, Philbert Moffatt, Anthony Harding and Travis Martin.

Bishop and Grumble were instrumental in securing a 2-0 victory over Milerock last Sunday, with goals coming in the 58th and 61st minutes respectively.
