…Ann’s Grove United grab second win against Buxton FC

THE Guyana Defence Force continued their relentless pursuit of a successful
defence of their title in season 6 of the KFC Elite League.
When GDF came up against bottom-ranked side, Monedderlust, the champion’s quality showed as they dominated their rival to capture an 11-0- victory.

Dorrel George opened the flood gates in the 10th minute of play followed by first
half goals from Abumchi Benjamin, Chris Macey and Stephen McDonald.

Benjamin would record a triple in the match with his first strike coming in the 27th minute and the second in the 42nd minute.
After going into the break leading 5-nil, the soldiers turned up the heat in the second half as Cedric Osbourne got things off the mark in the second half.

McDonald would come back to score his second goal in the 72nd minute before Macey got a double with his second goal in the 79th minute.
McDonald then completed the hat-trick with his other goal coming in the 82nd minute.
Sherwyn Ceasar capped off the victory in injury time as they claimed an 11- nil win.

The win, their fifth in a row since the start of the league, sees them moving two places up the standings to second place, replacing Slingerz who also have five wins but surrendered their spot because of the unbeaten GDF’s superior goal difference.
Police still top the standings after 6 wins in 7 matches with their only loss to the soldiers.

Slingerz move to third place on the table.
Ann’s Grove meanwhile moved into 7th position on the table after their second win against Buxton United FC.
Elton Sullivan in the 29th and Yohance Francis in the 52nd minutes of play gave Ann’s Grove the 2-nil victory over Buxton who remain at the bottom of the table just above Monedderlust after 6 games.

Buxton United are yet to record their first win in season six of the league.
The Ten participating clubs are battling for the first-place prize of G$2,000,000, while cash rewards of $1,200,000, $800,000, and $500,000 are up for grabs for the second, third and fourth positions, respectively.
The action continues on Saturday with a double-header, Buxton United play Slingerz and GDF comes up against Western Tigers.
