KFC Elite League…

Andrew Murray continued to lead Western with pride and skill as he picked up a brace to steer them past Ann’s Grove united.
The veteran Murray was in a no-nonsense mood as he got into his stride not long after the opening whistle, his first goal coming nine minutes into the match-up before doubling up with an an 11th minute goal to give the West Ruimveldt-based side the advantage.
Ryan Seals would try to rescue his team in the 22nd, pulling back the scoreline 2-1 and the two teams battled for the remainder of the first half to no avail.
The second half ended without either side troubling the scoring columns.
Earlier in the evening, Den Amstel stopped Buxton United by the same scoreline in an almost identical fashion.
In the contest, Den Amstel’s Jahshawn Moore scored a second half (60th minute) strike which opened the scoring before his side through Anthony Benn made it 2-nil in the 80th minute.
Buxton’s Inceford Charles would find their lone goal in the match a minute later, but the West Coast Demerara’s Den Amstel held on for the victory, 2-1.
