Preparations going steadily apace for qualitative tournament
It’s just a week to the launching of the 7th edition of Fruta Conquerors / NAMILCO / One Love Reloaded football competition, scheduled to kick off at the Tucville Ground Sunday March 23 next, and the organizers are sparing no effort to stage a qualitative tournament’
President of the Fruta Conquerors FC, Wayne Forde, said that his team is engaged in infrastructural and other works and are feverishly addressing their tasks to spruce up the ground for Sunday’s opening ceremony.
“We have managed to secure the services of Courtney Benn Contracting Service, through the intervention of Odinga Lumumba, to roll the ground and provide other auxiliary services,” said Forde. He expressed gratitude to his benefactor and assured that every bit of assistance is appreciated.
Sixteen of the nation’s best football teams will engage in the march past ceremony at around 16:00hrs on Sunday and the occasion will be graced by Prime Minister, Samuel Hinds and several bigwigs of NAMILCO including Managing Director, Bert Sukhai, Financial Controller, Fitzroy McLeod and another financial executive, Automaram Lakeram among others.
Meanwhile, there has been a slight change to the fixtures and when the first whistle goes at 18:00hrs, Riddim Squad will take on Santos FC and not Santos as was initially scheduled; the Topp XX / Pele showdown remains intact from 20:00hrs.

receives $600,000. The third and fourth place finishers will take home $400,000 and $200,000 respectively.
The four top teams will also receive trophies while there will be other prizes for the Most Valuable Player, Best Goalkeeper and most prolific goal scorer among others.
