The world famous Georgetown Cricket Club more familiarly known as ‘Bourda’ will come alive today when the eagerly awaited start of the now popular Banks Beer / Georgetown Football Association (GFA) Cup kicks off with an interesting double header, commencing from 18:00 hrs.
However, just before the teams involved in today’s action takes to the field to begin rivalry in the competition that has over $9million in prize money up for grabs there will be an Opening Ceremony where all the teams scheduled to participate in the yearend extravaganza.
In the first game, Sunburst Camptown take on Houston Stars and that will be followed by the clash between last year’s finalist Fruta Conquerors and Flamingo at 20:00 hrs.
Sunburst Camptown is a very experienced side with the inspirational Troy ‘Bugsy’ Prescod expected to orchestrate play in the attacking second with support from Reshawn Sandiford, Sherwin Cadogan and Leon Muir, while Houston Stars will have in their line-up Carlyle Harry, Dwight Ferguson and Troy Forde.
In the feature matchup, Fruta Conquerors will rely on the performances of Vurlon Mills, who has returned following his stint in Trinidad and Tobago, Trevon Lythcott, Marko Marcus, Eon Alleyne, Jermain Junor and Dwayne Lawrence.
Flamingo’s chances of creating an upset will depend on how well players such as Shem Porter, Ronald Belle, Jermaine Fletcher and Dwayne Layne perform.
One thing is certain, with football activity previously at a bare minimum, anything is possible and even the established teams are being warned not to underestimate those considered minnows.
Apart from the football, fans will have the opportunity to participate in giveaways compliments of Banks DIH, the platinum sponsor of the tournament.
The organisers are also assuring that all systems are in place for the games to be played even if rain falls.
The Opening Ceremony will be conducted at 17:00 hrs.
