In the feature match, the home team Fruta Conquerors beat BK International Western Tigers 2-0 while in the opening game; Pele defeated GFC by a 3-0 margin.

The competition will continue this evening at the same venue with another double-header that will be preceded by a Guyana Football Federation Women’s Inter Sub-Association fixture between Lethem and Berbice. This match is set to kick off at 16:00 h.

In Wednesday’s feature game, Devon Forde sent Fruta Conquerors into the lead with a 6th minute goal and the 1-0 lead was maintained until the completion of the first session.

This lead was however further extended in the 79th minute when Manasseh Primo found the back of Western Tigers’ net.

The win by the North Ruimveldt-based team earned them three points and this, added to the 20 points they already had, ensures they remain in fourth position, eight adrift of points leaders and defending champions Alpha United who have 31 points from ten wins and a draw.

To date, Fruta Conquerors have won seven of their 13 matches. They drew two and lost four.

Western Tigers for their part have 12 points to their credit after securing three wins, losing seven matches and being held to a draw on three occasions. They will remain in sixth place in the point standings.

Pele, with Wednesday night’s victory, progress to 16 points from five victories, one draw and seven losses, but they will continue to occupy the fifth spot in the standings.

Meanwhile, in the feature match this evening at the same venue, second place Sunburst Camptown, with 28 points to their credit, play third place GDF who are on 25 points.

Kick-off time is 18:00 h in the curtain-raiser which pits defending champions Alpha United against bottom-of-the-table and winless Flamingo on three points.

With the four teams all playing their penultimate match and seeking to enhance their respective positions, football fans and supporters can expect an evening of entertaining football from the first whistle.

A victory for Alpha will enable them to retain the title with an unsurpassable 34 points; while the relegation-bound Flamingo will be seeking to create a major upset in securing their first win.

A victory for Camptown can propel them closer for the runner-up spot, and an Army victory will draw them level with their opponents on points, but ahead on goal difference.
