 The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) outflanked Swan FC by an 8-0 scoreline when the Guyana Football Federation (GFF)/Guyana National Women Football Association (GNWFA) Super-16 Festival continued yesterday at the National Training Centre, Providence.

The result continued the common theme of the event which is lopsided results. Similarly, Lethem dismantled Foxy Ladies 18-0 on Sunday at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.
