GDF set to battle in back-to-back clashes this weekend

THE Guyana Football Federation’s premier football competition, the Elite League Season 7, is set continue this weekend at the National Training Centre at Providence.

The early stage of the league has seen heated action among the nation’s top 10 league sides that make up the competition.

After the first set of clashes, last year’s second placed side Slingerz FC lead the points table with 2 wins in 2 on 6 points followed by Ann’s Grove United and Den Amstel.

On Saturday the action resumes with the defending champions, the Guyana Defence Force playing Den Amstel in the opener at 18:30 hours.

The champs – who opened with a loss against Western Tigers before bouncing back against Monedderlust to get their campaign back on track – will look to shake off the early loss and mount a successful defense of their title.

Table leaders Slingerz FC will look to maintain their early prowess when they tackle Guyana Police Force under lights; the police men are fourth in the league.

On Sunday sees the champions GDF again suit up, this time to face off against Den Amstel at 18 hours 30.

The second clash will feature Western Tigers playing Santos FC at 21 hours.

The league features 90 games over a 6 months period with top side in Season 7 of the Elite League collecting two million dollars and being awarded an automatic qualifying spot at the CONCACAF/Caribbean Shield Championships.

The 2nd place team collects $1,200,000, 3rd Place $800,000 and 4th Place 500,000.
