THE feature clash of Thursday evening’s KFC Elite League proved a shocker as the once rampant Slingerz were held to a surprise draw by Den Amstel FC at the Guyana Football Federation National Training Centre.
Slingerz new recruit Andrew Murray did his job on the offensive end, giving the top side the opening goal in the 39th minute before the break.

However, it was Slingerz defence that proved porous as Delano Mentore found the equaliser in the 57th minute.
Slingerz despite their array of star forwards and midfielders had no answer for that effort as the clash ended in a draw 1-1.
In the other contest on the day, the Guyana Police Force Fc maintained their winning streak against Monedderlust FC 3-nil.
Police who hold strong on the points table in third place behind Champions Guyana Defence Force and Slingerz are on track for a top three finish in the second half of the league with a comfortable win against their Berbice counterparts.
However the clash had a sedate first half, as neither team found the back of the net in the first half, it was not until Neron Barrow hit the back of the net in the 54th minute of the second half that the deadlock was broken.
He returned in the 69th to double their advantage then following up with his hat-trick in the 78th minute which ultimately sealed the victory 3-nil.
