FOLLOWING an extended break, attention will return to the exciting Guyana Football Federation(GFF)-sponsored National Super League which features ten of the best teams in the nation.
In its third year, the Super League has been the standard-bearer for selecting teams to compete in the Caribbean Football Union tournament, Inter-Guiana Cup which also features the top clubs

from Suriname and French Guiana.
To date, the competition has been keen among the clubs and can only get better when the first-round resumes on Sunday with three matches, a double-header at the Buxton Community Centre Ground and a lone game at the Blairmont Community Centre ground, West Coast Berbice.
With the transfer window now open and coming to a close on Thursday, it will be interesting to see the final make-up of the various Super League teams for the remainder of the league.
The lone fixture at Blairmont brings together home team Rosignol United and new kids on the block, Uitvlugt Warriors. The West Demerara-based Uitvlugt Warriors, led by veteran and former National defender Orville Bobb has created two major upsets to date with wins over defending champions Alpha United (2-1) and Milerock (4-3).
Rosignol lost to Milerock in a close game 2-3 but hammered Western Tigers 4-1 in a commanding win. With Uitvlugt just above Rosignol at 5th place in the point standings, the scene is set for an intriguing match-up between two sides that feature a number of promising young ball-weavers who are eager to showcase their talent in a winning way for their respective clubs.
At the Buxton ground, East Coast Demerara, the home team will engage Upper Demerara’s Milerock in feature play from 15:30hrs and an enthralling battle is anticipated.
The reigning Kashif and Shanghai knock-out champions will have the home support behind them and will also have some high standards to live up to following their historical triumph on January 1, 2013.
Both sides have a mixture of youth and a few seasoned players but no big names.
One thing for sure however, they all have a hunger for success and that will be at the back of their minds when the opening whistle is sounded.
Despite the fact that Milerock lie at the bottom of the standings and Buxton are third, fans can expect a tactical contest between the two sides.
Opening play pits another East Coast side, BV/Triumph United, against Den Amstel Porkknockers in another clash that is a must see.
BVTU in their debut year have looked very promising while Den Amstel have also shown what they are capable of doing.
Again, an exciting crop of young players will be on show and fans can be assured of high octane action in their showdown.
Two matches will be played at the GFC on Wednesday February 6, defending champions Alpha United will come up against Amelia’s Ward United in opening play at 18:00hrs while the main attraction promises to be a humdinger of a battle between Pele and Western Tigers.
