Fruta Conquerors hindered the title hopes of the third-place unit, the Guyana Police Force (GPF), as they played to a 1-1 stalemate in the KFC Elite League yesterday at the National Training Centre, Providence.
Neron Barrow had given the Lawmen the initial halftime lead in the 24th minute. However, Fruta Conquerors would earn a share of the spoils as Simeon Lovell levelled proceedings in the 70th minute.
Fruta Conquerors coach Sampson Gilbert stated during a post-match comment that the team must utilise the mental fortitude to compensate for the lack of physical strength given that it’s a young team, noting, “Tonight it showed that they have a kind of mental strength. The opponent had most of the possession, especially in the first half, but they stayed in the game and got a draw tonight, which is good.”
