STAG ELITE LEAGUE CONCLUDES THIS WEEKEND

  • TRIPLE-HEADER ON TO DECIDE BIG-FOUR

 

12th May, 2017; Georgetown: The curtains of the Stag Elite League (Season 2) will come down on Sunday, 14th May, 2017 with an exciting triple header at the GDF Ground, Camp Ayanganna.

The matchup will see Victoria Kings FC vs Monedderlust FC, Top XX FC vs Buxton United FC and GDF FC vs Fruta Conquerors FC respectively and will begin at 16:00hrs with the first match

With the outcome of the GDF FC and Fruta Conquerors FC game unable to change the present standing of first and second place respectively, this leaves the two top teams playing for their pride with GDF wanting to maintain their unbeaten run and Fruta Conquerors wanting to prove that GDF is not unbeatable.

However, in games one and two, there is a lot to play for since should Victoria Kings lose to Monedderlust FC and Top XX to Buxton United FC, there will be a change at the bottom of the table with Monedderlust FC moving to fifth place and Top XX FC to the bottom of the table. Should Victoria Kings FC win against Monedderlust FC and Top XX FC against Buxton United FC, then there will be a mid-table change with Victoria Kings moving into third place and Buxton United FC to fourth. The table will remain the same if both Victoria Kings and Buxton United FC wins their respective games.

In summing up the league, Guyana Football Federation’s Competitions Director Ian Alves said: “The league was keenly contested especially with some of the matchups. The newly-added clubs demonstrated improved play as the league progressed. However, they were some challenges with the condition of venues which resulted in venue changes to at least two matches.”

This final matchup of the season will also signal the top four teams which will advance to the ‘Big Four’ tournament. The bottom two teams will find themselves in relegation zone.

The Stag Elite League is the senior league of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and seeks to, among others, provide a space for consistent and competitive engagement of footballers while facilitating disciplined players of a high technical and tactical ability, to be identified and or selected for national duties.

Patrons will be given a chance to win fabulous prizes including family meals compliments of Church’s Chicken, jerseys / caps compliments of Jialing, and cash vouchers and Gilette hampers compliments of Ansa Mc Al. The grand patron prize will be a JIALING 250cc motorcycle compliments of Automobile Power Products.  Admission to the game is GYD$500.00
