The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was crowned the MVP Sports Women’s Developmental League champion, defeating Fruta Conquerors 1-0 in the final on Wednesday evening at the Eve Leary Sports Club ground.

An own goal opened the scoring in the sixth minute for the army ladies in front of a large crowd, as a strike from outside the left of the penalty box, took a deflection off the head of Jessica Teasdale and sailed over the grasp of the goalkeeper.
