Due to the inclement weather last weekend the finals of the Dr. Noel Blackman birthday 7-a-side football tournament will be played on Saturday at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground, Bourda.
Coordinator Lennox Arthur had indicated that the remaining 12 teams from a total 36 who had started the competition, will ‘duke it out’ in an eliminator for the top prize on offer.
These teams will have their name in a bag and their opponents will be drawn randomly as the elimination process continues until the final two teams are determined to clash in the championship game.
The 12 teams competing Saturday are; Mocha, Alexander Village, Sophia, North East LaPenitence, Broad Street, Pouderoyen, Grove, Lima Dam, Kuru Kururu, Timehri, Charlotte Street and Tiger Bay.
All the teams are asked to arrive before 5:00pm for the drawing of the fixtures and a prompt start.
At stake for the winner of the competition is $100,000, while $50,000 goes to the runner-up along with the Dr. Blackman trophies. Several leading players are expected to be on show including Shawn Bishop, Devon Millington and Shem Porter among others.
