Western Tigers Stun Slingerz to Win Super 16 Cup

Western Tigers FC were crowned GFF Super 16 Cup champions after edging Slingerz FC 1–0 in a tense and dramatic final at the National Training Centre, Providence, late Thursday night.

Facing a Slingerz side widely regarded as the most dominant club in Guyana, Western Tigers delivered a disciplined, composed, and fearless performance, securing one of the most significant victories in the club’s history.

The decisive moment arrived in the 90th minute, when Kevin Woodley breached the Slingerz defense by fixing home a rebound off the Slingerz goal keeper, igniting jubilant celebrations among Tigers players and supporters alike.

Slingerz FC entered the final boasting a star-studded lineup, featuring national and international Player Omari Glasgow, and Former National Coach Jamal Shabazz carrying an unbeaten run stretching back nearly two years, dating to 2023. Despite sustained pressure and attacking intent throughout the contest, Slingerz were unable to break down a resolute Western Tigers defense.

The narrow victory not only crowned Western Tigers champions but also snapped Slingerz FC’s long-standing unbeaten streak of over 30 games.

Western Tigers’ road to the title included hard-fought victories over the Guyana Defence Force FC and eventual finalists Slingerz FC, earning the club the $2 million top prize for their Super 16 triumph.

Earlier in the evening, Guyana Defence Force FC defeated the Guyana Police Force FC to secure third place in the competition.

The high-profile final was attended by several government officials, including Ministers Steven Jacobs, Vanessa Benn, and Keoma Griffith, underscoring the growing national interest in the tournament.

The victory caps a memorable Super 16 Cup campaign for Western Tigers FC and highlights the increasing competitiveness and quality of domestic football in Guyana.

Two Men from Linden Killed Within 24 Hours in Separate Gun Attacks

The mining town of Linden has been rocked by two fatal shootings within a 24-hour period, sparking concern among residents as police intensify investigations into the separate incidents.

A Linden youth, identified as Amar Jones, the operator of a wreck removal service, was shot dead on Wednesday afternoon at Wismar, Linden.

Reports indicate that Jones was operating his truck at the time of the attack when he was ambushed by two gunmen traveling in a car. The assailants opened fire before making a swift escape from the scene.

Jones succumbed to his injuries shortly after the shooting. Police investigators were seen processing the scene, and investigations are ongoing. No arrests have been made so far, and further details are expected as the probe continues.

In a separate incident, police are also investigating the murder of 47-year-old farmer Dion Ramdyhan, who was gunned down at his home in Bamia, a community located just outside of Linden along the Soesdyke–Linden Highway.

According to reports, Ramdyhan was asleep inside his house when unknown assailants attacked and shot him multiple times. Residents in the area told investigators that they heard several loud gunshots during the early morning hours.

The farmer was pronounced dead at the scene. Up to press time, no suspects have been identified, and the motive for the killing remains unclear.

Police have confirmed that separate investigations are underway into both killings. Law enforcement officials are appealing to members of the public who may have information related to either incident to come forward and assist with the investigations.
