KFC elite league Season 6…

SANTOS FC picked up their second win of this year’s elite league on Thursday evening after a hard-fought victory over Buxton FC.

The match, played at the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)’s National Training Centre (NTC), saw Santos taking on the winless Buxton United in the evening’s lone clash.

The first 40 minutes proved sedate, as both sides failed to connect with the back of the net.

It was not until the 41st minute that Michael Oie converted a chance to give Santos the lead.

After the break, the two teams seemed unable to move forward, before Randy Roberts doubled Santos’ advantage in the 63rd.

Santos would attack further as the game went on, seeking more goals, but ultimately had to settle for the 2-nil win after 90 minutes.

After Thursday’s game, the Guyana Police Force holds the reigns at the top of the table after 18 games in the league.

The police led by virtue of four wins out of 4 games, while former table topper Western Tigers are second with three wins and a loss.

Favourites, Slingerz, are third with an unbeaten record of three wins in three, with defending champion Guyana Defence Force fourth.

Santos, after their latest win, round out the top 5 of the 10 teams playing in the League.

The other competing teams are: Ann’s Grove, Den Amstel, Fruta Conquerors, Monedderlust, and Buxton United.

The league sees the sides battling it out over 90 games in total, with 18 games to be played by each team for a grand prize of two million dollars for the top spot, with 1.2 million for second place, and $800,000 for third.

Season Six of the League continues this evening (Saturday) with a double header, Ann’s Grove will clash with Den Amstel at 18:30hours, and Fruta Conquerors will play Berbice’s Monedderlust in the feature clash.
