Kings, Police produce ‘slim’ wins
After five games played, the Victoria Kings picked up their first wins in the Guyana Football Federation/KFC-sponsored Elite League 2023.
Victoria Kings picked up the win following a clash with the defending champions, Fruta Conquerors FC, on Tuesday night.
The first of a double-header at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) National Training Centre (NTC), Providence saw Victoria’s Inceford Charles broke the ice early with a strike in the 20th minute. Minutes later, Kevin Williams extended Victoria Kings’ advantage with a goal in the 34th.

It was only until the second half, that Fruta Conquerors managed to repay by way of a Dennis Edwards goal in the 53rd minute.
However, the Tucville outfit threw away many chances before regulation time ended with the score stuck at 2-1 in Victoria’s favour.
After the encounter, Victoria’s captain, Inceford Charles, expressed satisfaction at the win.

“Well, it was a hard-fought victory, I must say. After our first 4 losses, I believe the team was resolute in at least getting a victory or a draw from this game and it is imperative that we come out, especially with a victory, so we stay up and not get relegated. The fellas, this evening, was up for it and the were up to the task,” Charles told this publication.
Meanwhile, it was all smoke and no fire between the Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC and Santos FC who matched strides in the second game. Both teams fought valiantly but missed multiple scoring opportunities. Police eventually stole a victory and three points, however, owing to a Santos own goal in the 60th minute of their encounter.
The League continues today at the same venue, where Den Amstel FC and Western Tigers will clash at 19:00hrs, after which Buxton United and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) FC will match strides from 21:00hrs.
