DEFENDING champions Guyana Defence Force delivered a thumping performance on Saturday, this time against Fruta Conquerors at the Guyana Football Federation’s National Training Centre as action continued in the Elite League.

It was a lopsided contest as Abumchi Opara proved imperious in front of goal to capture a helmet trick as he made light of Fruta’s defence.

He would open the flood gates in the 10th minute before recording two more goals either side of the break to put GDF up 3-nil.

Second half goals from Queancy Fraser, Makhaya Jarvis, Shakeem Welcome and Stephen McDonald would all but seal the contest.

However, Opara was not done, returning to record his fourth goal before Fraser added to his goal tally with a strike in the 90th minute to cap off the comprehensive 9-nil victory.

Meanwhile Western Tigers defeated Ann’s Grove 6-nil.
Samuel Garnett scored three unanswered goals in the 30th, 45th and 55th minutes to put them well on their way with a handsome 3-nil advantage.

Late goals would follow from the likes of William Europe 71′, Dwayne James 84′ and Daniel Wilson 88′ as tigers put on a show for their East Coast counterparts to register a comfortable win 6-nil.
