This year’s Edward ‘Screw’ Richmond Memorial Linden Secondary Schools Under-18 football championship will finally kick-off this afternoon with two matches following a brief ceremony at the Wisburg Secondary School Ground.
Organising Secretary of the Linden Chapter of the Edward ‘Screw ‘Richmond Foundation, Kevin DeYounge said that the two games to start the championship will be preceded by brief talks on the history of the tournament, the person whose name is being honoured with the tournament and remarks from officials from the Education Ministry here in Upper Demerara/ Upper Berbice and the Upper Demerara Football Association.
According to DeYounge the rules for this year’s championship includes the ‘sin bin’ factor where a player who gets a yellow card will have to sit out for seven minutes of the 70 minutes game duration. If more than seven minutes remains then that player will be allowed to return but should the player getting a yellow card with less than seven minutes left then he automatically will miss the remainder of the game.
Compton London, a member of the ‘Screw’ Richmond Memorial Foundation in New York, who grew up watching ‘Screw’ Richmond excelling in several sports and become Linden’s first ever senior national player will give his views on Richmond who is rated as among the best all round sportsmen ever from the Mining Town of Linden.
The first game will kick off at 14.45 hrs but the brief ceremony is at 14.00hrs.
The first game will feature Linden Foundation Secondary against New Silvercity and the second at 16.15 hrs is between Mackenzie High School and Linden Technical Institute.
