The pleas of administrators of the Kashif and Shanghai football organization for tangible support towards the success of the 23rd edition of their yearly football extravaganza scheduled to get underway on December 16 next, seems to have reached the right ears and coming closely on the heels of a donation of a motorcycle from Cell Phone Shack for a lucky patron at the Buxton fixture, another corporate entity, Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL),
has pitched in with a tangible contribution.
Yesterday afternoon, DDL Marketing Manager, Alexis Langhorne, accompanied by Marketing Assistant, Almira Kassim, journeyed to the Irving Street offices of K&S where they contributed handsomely towards the success of the tournament.
This is the third year that the beverage company is supporting the tournament, under the Gatorade product, and Ms Langhorne explained that her executives are impressed with the organizational skills of the K&S duo. She also underlined her company’s interest in the development of local footballers thus their input. As in the previous years, the DDL executive assured the K&S duo that her company will continue to render support to the tournament.
Mr. Muhammad expressed gratitude to his benefactor even as he informed that arrangements are progressing satisfactorily. He said that his executives are currently engaged in discussions with various stakeholders including Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport , Frank Anthony, other members of the corporate community as well as the bottom tiered workers.
“This year’s tournament will top all others not only in the area of shrewd organizing but also with the quality of play,” assured Mr. Muhammad who also boasted of having the best teams in the local pool competing against each other.
In all, sixteen football teams comprising the cream of the crop will commence the arduous journey to the top starting on December 16 next. The top team will cart off 4 million dollars plus the trophy, a symbol of local football excellence. The runner up team pockets one million dollars while the third and fourth place teams win $750,000 and $500,000 respectively. The latter prize was donated by Charles P Ceres, Managing Director of Ground Structures Engineering Consultants Inc. Further, all participating teams collect a complete uniform kit for its members. The Most Valuable Player will drive off with a luxury car while the top coach will ride of with a Jailing 110CC motorcycle.
This year also, the youth would get a chance to hone their skills in a U-13 tournament that will be staged adjacent to the K&S tournament.
