It took the Tigers, led by veteran striker Andrew Murray Jr., just 32 minutes before they pierced Monedderlust FC uprights for the opening goal of the contest.
It was, by all accounts, a one-sided contest as Western Tigers flexed their muscles in the opening weeks of the KFC Elite League season 6.

The 34-year-old Murray has continued to prove his fitness as he made several raids thereafter before doubling the lead five minutes later in the 37th minute of the contest.
On the verge of half time, Trayon Bobb made good on one of his many efforts to record a third goal for his team in injury time of the first half After the break, a more defensive-minded Monedderlust FC would push in the flood gates but their strong defence failed to spur any offensive success as they held on with Tigers up 3-nil.

As the proverbial saying goes ‘pressure does burst pipe’ and it was the case in injury time of the second half that Western Tigers got through the door with Murray, who was on the prowl, scoring his third goal in 90+ 2 minutes to
complete the hat-trick with them leading 4-nil at that stage.

The momentum saw the Tigers again extending their lead 5-nil after a fabulous strike from Samuel Garnett two minutes later before the referee’s whistle halted any further damage as Western Tigers take the top spot with another imperious
performance.

The Guyana Police force FC meanwhile assaulted Buxton United in their encounter to claim the third spot.
Buxton United proved the aggressor with their efforts culminating in a 41st minute goal for the lead.

The second half saw Police FC upping the ante as they searched for their third win in as many games to keep their unbeaten record.
The equalizer came in the 75th minute off the boots of Anthony Benfield and it brought more energy into Police side’s display.

The impetus spurred Police’s Adrian Aaron and Junior Redman to go on to register goals in the 80th and 86th minute as they picked up the victory 3-1.
