Slingerz ‘sling-up’ Ann’s Grove to go second on table
Fruta ‘conquers’ Buxton United FC

SLINGERZ FC continued their imperious run in Season Six of the KFC Elite League when they took a commanding victory over Ann’s Grove United in the feature clash on Thursday at the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) National Training Centre (NTC).

The first half of the contest proved even as both sides battled without success; the match going into the break nil-all.

However, Slingers Jamaican Coach Alex Thomas inspired his charges to up their game in the second half and that is exactly what they did.
Marcus Tudor led the line with a pair of goals in the 51st and 55th minutes of play to give Slingerz the lead.

Jerome Harrigan then made it for 3-nil in the 83rd minute despite a feisty period of play in which several attempts for Ann’s Grove went awry.

Jamal Corrington then added to Ann’s Grove woes in the 89th before Gabriel DeSouza came off the mark with an injury time goal to give Slingerz a 5-nil win.
The win moves Slingerz within three points of table leaders Guyana Police Force with 18 points (six wins in six games).

Slingerz have 15 points (five wins in five games) with Western Tiger third on 9 points (three wins in five games).

Meanwhile, the opening clash was a one-sided affair as Buxton failed to register a goal against former elite league winners Fruta Conquerors.

The game seemed almost wrapped up in the first half as Fruta registered 4 goals by the break.

Makhaya Jervis was the first to the back of the net in the 30th minute of play before Dwayne Jones got in on the action three minutes after.
Antwon Denny got onto the score sheet to record a double before the break.

A sterner defensive effort from Buxton United then saw solidifying the ‘back-line’ and not conceding further goals.

Their effort however didn’t translate on the offensive end as they went down without troubling the scorer’s 4-nil.
