Jamaican Kemar Beckford showed up for his Slingerz outfit in a huge way on Saturday evening as he captured helmet-trick to guide his side to a 7-nil trashing of Ann’s Grove United.
The duo met in the opening match of Saturday evening’s Elite League action at the Guyana Football Federation National Training Center at Providence.
Beckford who has not matched his scoring output from season 6 seemed to find second gear in that gaming, adding a pair of goals to his and team’s tally by the end of the first 20 minutes of the contest.
He had strikes in the 3th and 16th minutes as they went into the half up by 2-0.

After the resumption Curtez Kellman in the 49th and Kelsey Benjamin in the 51st converted their opportunities as the side firmly took the game out of Ann’s Grove reach with a 4-0 score line.
While Slingerz took an unassailable lead, Beckford was far from finished.

He hit the back of the nets two more times before the end of the whistle within five minutes of each other, in the 58th and 63rd minutes to make it 6-0.
Marcus Tudor drove the final nail in the coffin in the dying minutes as Slingerz stayed unbeaten, registering their seventh win of their campaign to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

The second game of the evening was another high scoring, one -sided thriller as Western Tigers kept Mainstay Goldstar rooted to the bottom of the league Table with a 13-1 stoppage.
Western Tigers’ Stephon Reynolds and Samuel Garnett dominated the contest as the team outplayed Mainstay in every facet of the clash to claim their fifth win and leapfrog the Guyana Police Force in the points table, moving from third to second place.

Reynolds showed his worth as he hit the back of the net in the 4th, 9th, 14th, 23rd and 32nd to send them into the break with a five-goal advantage and on course for a likely victory.
After the half Samuel Garnett came to the fore in the 49th with his first before Mark Phillips made it seven-nil.

Garnett, not to be outdone then added two more goals in the 75th and 79th minutes to record a hat-trick.
Phillips scored another to end with a brace and Keron Powell scored a double as well with Truston Gordon’s lone goal giving the Tigers the final roar in the 13-nil score line.
