ANOTHER draw for Slingerz FC, this time against the Georgetown Football Club (GFC), both of whom were awarded a point for the result last night at the GFC ground, in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) STAG Elite League.The two sides battled to a stalemate in the curtain-raiser which had Alpha United going head-to-head with Pele in the feature.
This stalemate is the ‘West Side’ team’s second following their opening match against Alpha United at the Leonora Sports Facility last Friday. They have accumulated two points while GFC claimed their first point after being defeated by Pele in the League’s opening match.
In the GFC/Slingerz showdown, even though Slingerz were clearly the stronger, more skilled side, they could not find a way ahead against the opposition who defended for the majority of the match.
Playing on home turf, GFC were not on the offensive end regularly, as Slingerz dominated possession winning the ball off goal kicks and set plays to command just about 65% of the ball.
Late in the second half, GFC had a few opportunities to draw first blood but squandered most of their attempts near goal.
Up to press time Alpha and Pele were in their warm-up phase before the match.
The League continues tonight with another double-header at the Tucville Playfield. In the first mach Buxton United will meet Guyana Defence Force at 18:00hrs then Fruta Conquerors host Monedderlust in the feature at 20:00hrs.
