League winners the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) failed in their attempt at a perfect season in the Stag Beer Elite League, losing 1-2 to eventual runners-up Fruta Conquerors yesterday at the Camp Ayanganna ground in the season finale.

Although the fixture, which was contested under wet conditions had no significance in the points standings, Fruta Conquerors ended their three-game losing streak against the home side compliments of goals on either side of halftime from Eon Alleyne and Anthony Abrams in the 27th and 67th minute respectively.
