NERON Barrow was at the forefront on Tuesday evening, as his Police
Football squad delivered a thumping victory over Ann’s Grove United FC when the KFC Elite League continued at the Guyana Football Federation National Training Centre.
Barrow was quickly on the prowl after the opening whistle, and it resulted in a goal six minutes into the contest to give the Guyana Police Force a spectacular start in the clash.
Ann’s Grove would show some fight thereafter, but it was not until the 30th minute that Nicholas MacArthur got Police again on the scoresheet, 2-0, at the break.
After the resumption, Barrow again raised his hand as the striker of choice, with a fabulous effort to make it 3-0l, which gave him a brace in the process.
Goals followed from Adrian Arron in the 54th minute, Dorwin George 79th , Chai Williams
88th and Keswin Fraser in injury time as Police finished with a flurry of goals for a handsome 7-0 lead.
The police side with the win cemented their place as third on the standing with 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in 15 clashes.
Police are behind GDF with 13 wins and 1 draw in first place, and Slingerz FC with 12 wins and 3 draws in second place after 15 games.
Meanwhile, the night’s feature clash proved to be a stalemate, as Den Amstel held
fourth-placed Western Tigers to a 1-all draw.
Gideon Payne gave Den Amstel the lead in the 10th minute, while Western Tigers’
Michael Oie found the equaliser in the 41st minute.
The scores remained at the end of regulation time, 1-1, with the sides having
to share the spoils.
The KFC-sponsored league sees each team playing 18 games for 2 million dollars to the winning league team, with 1.2 million to second place, and $800,000 to third place, with top players also being awarded individual prizes.
