FRUTA Conquerors will host Monedderlust tonight at their Tucville home ground in a clash of two undefeated teams in the STAG Elite League. In the opening game of the double-header card from 18:00hrs, Buxton United and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) will play in an effort to secure at least a point.
Both the Buxtonians and the Army fell in their opening game to Fruta Conquerors and Monedderlust respectively, and with 13 more games to be played, they will be hoping to bounce back and produce a better performance.
But while the opening game has a story of its own, the Tucville community will focus their interest on the Conquerors/Monedderlust clash.
Speaking to Chronicle Sport yesterday, the SM Jaleel-sponsored team’s head coach Calvin Allen pointed out that his players are optimistic of a positive result against the team from the Ancient County.
Fruta Conquerors had to dig deep for their win against a stubborn Buxton United team, with Eon Alleyne scoring the winning goal in the closing seconds of the match at Number 5 Ground.
Allen added that Fruta Conquerors “didn’t have the best opening game, I think we were a little rusty having not played as much as we would have wanted to before the game but we were able to pick up the important three points”.
Monedderlust, behind head coach Gordon ‘Ultimate Warrior’ Braithwaite, came from being down two goals in the first half against the GDF and ended the 90-minute contest with a 3-2 victory.
“If I say how I intend to handle them (Monedderlust), I might be giving away our game plan,” explained Allen, who further pointed out, “I know they are very quick, they play with a lot of energy in the game, but we need to use our strengths. We know they are a determined bunch and my players are ready for what they bring.”
The STAG Elite League, featuring eight of Guyana’s top clubs, is the country’s premier football league with prize money totalling $15M.
