Wester, GDF register Thursday night wins

Both the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Western Tigers FC registered similar scorelines on Thursday evening as the latest round of the KFC-sponsored Guyana Football Federation Elite League continued.

The double-header at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) National Training Centre (NTC), at Providence, East Bank Demerara saw both teams winning 4-0.

In the first game between Western Tigers and Den Amstel FC, the latter managed to hold off their opponents for much of the first half, however, Malachi Grannum would find the back of the net in the 44th to end the half on a high note for Western.

In the second, Randolph Wagner added to Western’s tally in the 58th, after which an own-goal off the boots of Den Amstel’s Kobi Alexander, brought up their third.

A penalty opportunity came the way of Western Tigers in the latter minutes of the game, which Wagner (89th) converted to secure his double and his team’s 4-0 victory.

The script was almost the same in the following game between GDF FC and Buxton United. After several rallies, Stephen McDonald was the first man to find the back of the net for GDF in the 16th minute. In the 4th, Kennard Simon netted for GDF for a 2-0 score at the half.

The next goal was witnessed until the 68th when Olvis Mitchell found the back of the net, while Chris Macey brought up their fourth strike in the 71st. Buxton was able to patch the leak thereafter, but were unable to find any goals of their own.

The KFC Elite League continues tonight with a clash between Ann’s Grove United and Milerock FC at 18:00hrs. That game will be followed by a clash between Victoria Kings and Den Amstel FC at 20:00hrs.
