Fruta Conquerors edge Monedderlust
–Ann’s Grove and Den Amstel play to a draw
FORMER KFC Elite League champions Fruta Conquerors dominated Monedderlust at the Guyana Football Federation National Training Centre, but it didn’t reflect in the scoreline as the tournament continued on Saturday.
The former champions took a 2-nil victory over their Berbice counterparts.
Makaya Jarvis gave the Tucville-based Conquerors the early edge with his goal in the 5th minute of play, but notwithstanding several good runs, Fruta failed to convert more.
In the final third, their midfielders and strikers proved wasteful in front of the uprights.
Shamar Barnes finally doubled the lead in the 66th minute of the second half.
Monedderlust looked more organised in the second half but to no avail, as they could not turn momentum into goals; the game ending 2-0.
In the night’s opener, Shaquan Joseph gave Ann’s Grove the lead in their encounter four minutes into the match-up against Den Amstel FC.
The scrappy clash between the two sides ranked in the bottom half of the league table ended in a draw.
The uninspiring performance was punctuated by Gideon Payne goals in the 25th minute for Den Amstel to level the scores.
The second half proved even more sedate and piecemeal from both teams as they battled out the draw, 1-1.
The league continues on Tuesday with table leader Police FC playing Ann’s Grove United.
