The Guyana Police Force (GPF) kept their title hopes alive, arresting Buxton United 6-0 in the KFC Elite League at the National Training Centre, Providence.
Jemar Harrigon opened the scoring in the eighth minute, uncorking a powerful right footed strike from 30 yards out in the centre of the field which settled into the far corner. Daren Benjamin then made his presence felt in the 38th minute, scoring directly from a corner-kick, as the ball evaded everyone inside the box and settled into the back of the net.
The score-line remained unchanged heading into the halftime interval.
A penalty conversion by Nicholas MacArthur commenced the second half onslaught in the 52nd minute. Dorwin George then got into the scoring act in the 76th minute to make it 3-0, slotting home from inside the left of the box, after latching onto a cross from the right side of the field.
The score quickly ballooned to 5-0 in the 80th minute, as Junior Redmond slammed his effort into the back of the net from inside the box.
George then completed his double and sealed the result with a sublime strike in the 83rd minute, curling his effort from the top of the 18 yard box into the back of the net.
The event continues today with a doubleheader at the same venue. At 19:00hrs, Ann’s Grove will oppose Victoria Kings, whilst GPF will take aim at Milerock from 21:00hrs.
