SLINGERZ Football Club demolished Fruta Conquerors by a `whopping’ 8-1 margin, while Pele marched past the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) 3-1, when play in the 12th round of action in the Guyana Football Federation’s Stag Elite League continued at the Leonora Sports Facility, West Coast Demerara on Friday evening.Slingerz’s Julian Wade was relentless throughout the second half of play, finding the back of Fruta Conquerors’ net in the 47th, 76th, 85th and 86th minutes, while team-mates Trayon Bobb and Domini Garnett were no less merciful as they both netted doubles.
Bobb opened the scoring for the West Demerara- based Slingerz in the 31st minute and recorded his double in the 88th minute. Garnett on the other hand recorded his double in the 70th and 89th minutes.
Scoring for Fruta Conquerors was Eon Alleyne, who found his target in the 45th (+4) minute.
