Camptown FC secured their first win of the GFF Elite League Season Eight with a 3–0 victory over Monedderlust FC on Sunday, while Western Tigers FC scored twice in the final seven minutes of regulation time to beat Santos FC 2–0 at the GFF National Training Centre in Providence.

An own goal by Monedderlust’s Royan Solomon in the 43rd minute gave Camptown a 1–0 halftime lead. Lonsdale George doubled the advantage in the 54th minute, and Shane Jones scored two minutes later to seal the win.

In the evening match, Western Tigers and Santos went into halftime goalless. Western Tigers made three changes in the 52nd minute, bringing on William Europe, Tyler Lyle and Rondel Peters.

Captain Kevon Woodley broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute before Michael Junior Oie added the second in the 89th. Western Tigers held Santos scoreless to take all three points.
