THE curtains of the Stag Elite League will come down tonight with a triple-header at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Ground, Camp Ayanganna.

A Victoria Kings versus Monedderlust clash at 16:00 hrs will kick off the day’s proceedings, followed by Top XX tackling Buxton United, while the final game of the evening brings together the home side (GDF) and rivals Fruta Conquerors.

The GDF by virtue of their superior points (27 points) were already crowned champions of the league, which means the outcome of their clash with Fruta Conquerors (22) game will not change the present standing of the top two teams.

This leaves the two top teams playing for their pride with GDF wanting to maintain their unbeaten run and Fruta Conquerors wanting to prove that Army men are not unbeatable.

However, in games one and two, there is a lot to play for since should Victoria Kings (11), lose to Monedderlust (3) and Top XX (4)lose to Buxton United (12), there will be a change at the bottom of the table with Monedderlust FC moving to fifth place and Top XX FC to the bottom of the table.

Should Victoria Kings win against Monedderlust and Top XX defeat Buxton United, then there will be a mid-table change with Victoria Kings moving into third place and Buxton United to fourth. The table will remain the same if both Victoria Kings and Buxton United win their respective games.

In summing up the second installation of the STAG Elite League, Guyana Football Federation’s Competitions Director,Ian Alves believes “the newly-added clubs demonstrated improved play as the league progressed. However, there were some challenges with the condition of venues which resulted in venue changes to at least two matches.”

This final match-up of the season will also signal the top four teams which will advance to the ‘Big Four’ tournament. The bottom two teams will find themselves in relegation zone.

The Stag Elite League is the senior league of the GFF and seeks to, among other things, provide a space for consistent and competitive engagement of footballers while facilitating disciplined players of a high technical and tactical ability to be identified and or selected for national duties.

Meanwhile, a release from the GFF stated that patrons will be given a chance to win fabulous prizes including family meals,compliments of Church’s Chicken;jerseys and caps,compliments of Jialing, and cash vouchers and Gilette hampers compliments of Ansa Mc Al.

The grand patron prize will be a JIALING 250cc motorcycle,compliments of Automobile Power Products. Admission to the venue is GYD$500.
