THE Guyana Defence Force Football Club on Wednesday last won the much anticipated final of the MVP Sports/Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Women’s Development Football League. They defeated Fruta Conquerors 3-1 to lift the coveted trophy.

The newly crowned champions played a strong attacking game and it was pandemonium just before midnight at the Police Progressive Sports Club ground when the final whistle was blown.
The first goal of the night was an own goal by Fruta Conquerors Jessica Teasdale just six minutes in but she made up for her mistake and equalised via a penalty in the 22nd minute.
But the second half went to Guyana Defence Force (GDF) with two amazing goals by Abioce Heywood (74th) and Cloetta Dublin (91st).

GDF FC’s captain Cloetta Dublin shared that, “We’re very happy about the win. We came into this game playing very hard. Our way forward today is for the next league, we’ll go back on the field and keep on working hard to come and win again next season.”

Earlier in the evening, Guyana Police Force Football Club dominated the third-place match against Pakuri Jaguars with an 8-0 drubbing.

They took the lead 20 minutes into the game with a well-placed goal from striker Fiona Benjamin. She went on to score two more goals – the second in at the 51st minute mark and her last successful strike was in the 56th minute.

Rounding up the night’s goals were Lakeisha Williams with three goals (21st, 47th, 48th), and one each from Tiandi Smith (40th) and Shontel Greene (63rd).
