KFC Elite League…

A DOUBLE from Teon Stewart on Saturday evening ensured Ann’s Grove United picked up an upset win against Fruta Conquerors in Season 6 of the KFC elite league at the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) National Training Centre.

Stewart firstly hit the back of the net in the 62nd minute before following up in the 82nd to put his team on course for a comfortable 2-1 win.

Conquerors caused some jitters when Dwayne Baptsite pulled back the narrow lead in the 85th minute.

Ann’s Grove, however, managed to survive the remaining five minutes of regular time, and the injury time that followed, to secure their fourth win in 17 outings this season.

The East Coast side is 9th in the 10-team table, and currently in the relegation zone.

Fruta, for their part, suffered nine losses in 15 matches, with five wins and a draw.

Meanwhile, Santos got a boost in the standings, as they leapfrogged Western Tigers with their 9th victory of the season, a 7-nil thrashing of Buxton United.

Stefan Reynolds was raring to go from the opening whistle, and quickly converted Santos’ first goal in the 2nd minute of play.

Bevney McGarrell doubled the advantage before the half-time break, as Santos looked in good touch.

The second half saw more intent from Santos, as McGarrell came back to register a brace, and give them a 3-nil lead in the 65th minute.

In the 71st minute, Solomon Austin made it 4-nil, followed by McGarrell in the 82nd completing his hat-trick.

Austin made it a pair of goals for himself thereafter, with Shaquan Joseph guiding the ball into the net in injury time to finish off the sensational performance from Santos, 7-nil.

The win moves them to fourth in the table, with 9 wins in 15 matches with 6 losses.

Undefeated champions Guyana Defence Force still leads the standings with 13 wins and a draw in 14 games this season.

Next on the table is Slingerz, with 12 wins and 3 draws in 15 outings, followed closely by Guyana Police Force with 10 wins in 14 clashes with 3 losses and a draw.

The action continues on Thursday with Ann’s Grove meeting Police, and Den Amstel playing Western Tigers. Games begin at 18.30hrs at the NTC at Providence.
