Santos’ Simmons scores hat trick
SANTOS Football Club recorded an improved performance in this weekend’s round of the KFC Elite League when it disposed of Ann’s Grove United 6-nil.
Ryan Dowding got them off the mark 9 minutes into the game before the ever-improving Ian Daniels doubled the advantage midway through the first half.

That 2-0 scoreline held to the end of the first half and after the resumption, Andrew Simmons came off the bench and brought an explosiveness to the Santos offence.
He would first hit the back of the net in the 66th, exactly 6 minutes after substitution onto the field and already had a brace by the 71st as Santos extended its lead 4-nil.

Shem James finally found the back of the net for Santos’ fifth goal with Simmons returning to score his third and the team’s sixth after ducking Anns Grove’s defence.
Meanwhile the night’s opener saw Guyana Police Force FC holding onto their third place in the league tables with a 5-1 drubbing of Buxton United.

Neron Barrow started hot with goals in the 10th and 18th minutes of play as they quickly established their dominance of possession to put Buxton in defensive mode.
Buxton did well to stave off further damage to their poor record in the second half of season 6 but when they let up, Police FC again pounced with Chai Williams 74th and Jermain Junior 84th finding success to make it 4-nil.

Barrow was not done as he scored his third in the 88th minute to seal the contest and move Police’s record to 9 wins in 12 outings with 1 loss and 2 draws.
Buxton’s Tyreek Cummins was able to give them a consolation goal 2 minutes into injury time.

Guyana Defence Force leads the points table with 10 wins in 11 games with 1 draw on 31 points with Slingerz FC second boasting 9 wins in 11 with 2 draws.
The KFC sponsored league will see each team playing 18 games for a 2-million-dollar purse while 1.2M will go to second place, and $800,000 to third place
