– Army cites CFU participation as priority
The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) yesterday stated that due to their
participation in this year’s Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship, they will not feature in the March 20 – April 5 Kashif and Shanghai Knock-out football tournament.
The tournament this year marks 25 years of existence and will see Ann’s Grove replacing the GDF who now focuses their attention entirely on the CFU tournament that will also see Alpha United joining them as Guyana’s representatives.
Fixtures for this year’s tournament were released on Saturday last when the contesting teams met at the 704 Sports Bar with the organisers and it was noted that the Army, along with Linden’s Hi-Stars and Winners Connection were all a ‘no-shows’ at the event.
Ann’s Grove will now travel to Linden where they will play Winners Connection on March 23 at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground, the same day Western Tigers clashes with Hi-Stars.
Georgetown Football Club (GFC) will clash with Den Amstel while Riddim Squad faceoff against New Amsterdam United on the tournament’s opening day at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) Ground.
When the competition continues on Saturday March 21 at the Victoria Community Centre Ground, two- time champions Fruta Conquerors (2002 & 2004) will play Mahaica Determinators and 2008 winners Pele comes up against Grove Hi-Tech.
Final first round matches in the ‘win or go home’ formatted tournament will see Guyana’s number one club Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United playing new comers Agricola Red Triangle and ‘West Side’ Champions Slingerz FC, who themselves are playing in their first Kashif and Shanghai tournament playing 2001 Champions Victoria Kings at the DCC ground.
