– West Demerara Football Association Records Highest Number of Transfers

6th March, 2018, Georgetown: A total of 188 transfers, including 46 by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), were facilitated during the mid-season transfer period, which ended on January 30.

During the period, the highest number of transfers were recorded by the West Demerara Football Association with 49 transfers, followed by the Upper Demerara Football Association (40), Georgetown Football Association (30), Rupununi Football Association (19), Berbice Football Association (3) and East Demerara Football Association (1).

The Elite Clubs with the highest number of transfers include Fruta Conquerors FC and Ann’s Grove FC respectively with seven players each including Nicholai Andrews, Gregory Richardson, Tefon Daly, Simeon Moore, Miguel Rojas, Sunil Logan and Job Ceasar (Fruta Conquerors FC) and Les-Charles Critchlow, Dwight Peters, Gerald Sobers, Kevin Smith, Chavez John, William Europe and Justin Herod (Ann’s Grove FC).

Ian Alves, GFF’s Competition Director, said the fans are already seeing the impact of the transfers in the Elite League: “The mid-season transfer period has seen quite a number of player movement, among the Elite Clubs, which has contributed to a more competitive League. The fans are benefiting from the transfers, as clubs were able to bolster their performance, which is reflected on the pitch. This augurs well for the League, which is a platform, for the engagement of consistent football and for senior national team selection.”

For the non-elite clubs, among the top three clubs with a high number of transfers were Pouderoyen FC (31) followed by Haynes-Winners Connection FC (11) and Beacons FC (10).

The next transfer window is scheduled from the 1st June – 31st July, 2018.
