(Kaieteur News) – The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League resumed over the weekend following the FIFA international window, and the teams wasted little time getting back into the goals, with 23 scored across four matches.
Defending champions Slingerz FC maintained their unbeaten run with a 5-2 victory over Fruta Conquerors, while Western Tigers continued their impressive form with an emphatic 8-1 demolition of Monedderlust on Sunday.

Saturday’s action saw the Guyana Police Force (GPF) hand struggling Camptown a 3-1 defeat, while the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Ann’s Grove United.
Slingerz FC’s victory was their fifth consecutive win in the league, propelling the Vergenoegen-based side to the top of the standings as they continue their title defence in commanding fashion.
For Fruta Conquerors, the defeat was their third in four matches, leaving the Tucville-based club with plenty of work to do as they seek to regain consistency in the competition.

Western Tigers, meanwhile, are gathering considerable momentum after suffering defeat to GDF earlier in the campaign.
The West Ruimveldt side has since won three consecutive matches, scoring an impressive 16 goals during that run.
Their latest performance against Monedderlust underlined their attacking strength, with the eight-goal haul providing further evidence of their growing confidence as the league progresses.
Monedderlust, in contrast, continue to struggle for consistency. The West Berbice outfit has suffered four defeats in five matches, managing just one victory as they look to turn their fortunes around.
Camptown’s difficult transition to the Elite League has also continued. Having earned their place in the country’s top-flight competition through the Georgetown Football Association, the club has found results hard to come by and will need to improve if they are to compete consistently against the league’s established sides.
The GPF’s victory over Camptown and GDF’s clean-sheet performance against Ann’s Grove United further reinforced the two teams’ competitiveness, with both securing valuable points as the battle for league positions intensifies.
The GFF Elite League will continue this weekend, with teams looking to build on their latest performances as the race for supremacy gathers momentum.
