KFC Elite League Season 6…

–Monedderlust stop star-studded Slingerz

TRUE to their form, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ran the ‘Standard Operating Protocol’ on Anns Grove United as the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)’s KFC Elite League continued with Season Six.
The ‘soldier-men’, who are the reigning champions, set up a barricade in defence before sending their striker on the prowl with deadly results.
GDF’s Obumchi Benjamin needed very little time before boring through Anns Grove’s defences with his fabulous strike in the 11th minute for the lead.

Ann’s Grove would play more compact against the defending champion in the next few minutes, but the GDF eventually found their way through in the 39th minute of Kelsey Benjamin.
A first-half injury time goal from Colin Nelson would all but put the game out of Ann’s Grove’s reach, as the two-time champions started to impose their will.
Travis Williams would come to Ann’s Grove United’s rescue as they pulled back the lead in the 72nd minute, after which Delroy Fraser restored the cushion as GDF finished, 4-1 winners, to take a firm lead at the top of the standing.

The soldiers now have 9 wins and a draw from 10 games, ahead of Slingerz and Guyana Police Force, who boasts 8 wins.
Santos and Fruta Conquerors round out the top five in 10-team league table.
Meanwhile, Berbice Monedderlust found another gear to hold Slingerz FC to a 2-2 draw.

Monedderlust FC showed grit, determination and a skill that was not a feature of their campaign in the first round of KFC elite league’s Season 6.
Slinger’s Marcus Tudor gave the top side the lead in the 22nd, but a stubborn defence from Monedderlust kept the lead down to a minimum for the remainder of the first half.
Monedderlust’s Rayon Rose was up to the challenge as he found the equaliser after the resumption in the second half.

Slingerz’s Sheldon Holder, after a hectic period of play, found the back of the nets in the 66th minute to restore his side’s lead once more.
Monedderlust, after an upstart performance in the first part of the game, was not done yet as Paul McDonald showed up when it mattered, pulling his side level again in the 76th minute.
The goal caused pandemonium among the spectators gathered to witness the double header.
After that goal, Monedderlust was in a frenzy to try and hold on until the end of 90 minutes.

Slingerz’s best effort in that period was a penalty outside the box, which Darren Niles failed to convert as Monedderlust parked the bus to eke out a 2-all draw.
This year’s league will see the winners collect a $2 million purse, with 1.2 million for second place.
The 10-team league features each side playing 18 games over 2 rounds to determine the top elite football club in Guyana.
