Action in this year’s 9-a-side Inter-Ward Football Competition to commemorate the 85th Birth Anniversary of former Prime Minister and City Mayor Hamilton Green kicks off on Sunday with eight matches at the Uitvlugt Community Centre ground, West Coast Demerara, venue for the tournament, which reflects a change of venue.
The annual event will feature teams from East Coast Demerara, East Bank Demerara, Georgetown and West Berbice battling those from the host community for some $400,000 in prize money. NAMILCO has assisted the organiser, furnishing a few of the trophies on offer. Also lending assistance are Ministry of Communities and Cummings Electrical. A full list of the sponsors will be release shortly.
The opening salvo of games starting from 4:00pm Sunday will see: Sara Lodge versus Kuru Kururu, Goed Fortuin vs. Plaisance, Wales vs. Timehri, Bagotville vs. Soesdyke, Bourda Blues vs. Durban Backlands, Charlestown vs. Gaza, Casa Coima FC vs. Hurry Ate and GT Kanaimas vs. Stewartville.
The winners of the games listed will clash to advance to the latter stages. Game 1 winners will play game 3 winner, 2 vs. 4, 5 vs. 7 and 6 vs. 8.
More matches will be played on November 17 with the quarters, semis, third place and final being played on Sunday, December 1.
The winning team will take home $200,000 and NAMILCO trophy, while second, third and fourth place finishers will receive $100,000 and Ministry of Communities trophy, $60,000 and the NAMILCO trophy and $40,000 and the Cummings Electrical trophy respectively.
Co-ordinator of the tournament, former national football coach, Lennox Arthur has made a plea for sponsors to come on board with this year’s event in order to host a successfully tournament and a few have begun to answer his call as he expressed the hope for many past and new sponsors to lend assistance as many young talented footballers get the chance to display their talent in the hope of advancing their fortunes.
