592 Beer Inter-Village Football Championship quarterfinals start Sunday

Dec 18, 2019 Sports

With the exciting group stage having concluded, quarterfinal section in the inaugural 592 Beer Inter-Village Football Championship will commence on Sunday with an exciting doubleheader at the Buxton Community ground.
In the opening match, Mahaica will match skills with Friendship at 20:00hrs. The weight of expectation in securing a semi-final berth will rest on the shoulders of Azuma Roberts, Eion Abel and Shameer Nazir come kick-off time.
Meanwhile, the trident of Dillon Wright, Clive Andries and Okenny Fraser will marshal the dangerous Friendship outfit, a side which has grown with each outing and will have the partisan home support in their corner. In the second fixture, home side Buxton tackle Paradise at 22:00hrs.
Paradise unit is considered one of the main contenders to secure the coveted title by several analysts. This label is justified due to possessing quality players such as Quincy Adams and Tyreek Cummings in their roster. However, the battle hardened Buxtonians will be no pushovers and possess the skill set to create issues for their opponent led by the dynamic Eon Costello.
Tournament coordinator Eon Havercome revealed that the event will now officially conclude on January 1st 2020. He stated that the decision to extend the event was based on the response of the players, fans and sponsors, which has provided the ideal platform for the players to compete following a prolonged absence of structured football in the region.
According to Havercome, the staging of the event highlights that football is truly alive in the East Coast Demerara region, positing that the intention is for the tournament to be an annual affair. The competition continues with the second night of quarterfinal action on Christmas Day at the same venue.
The eventual champion of the event will pocket $500,000 and the championship trophy. On the other hand, the second, third and fourth place finisher will receive $200,000, $150,000 and $100,000 respectively and the corresponding trophy.
Similarly, individual prizes will also be awarded for the Most Valuable Player [MVP] of the tournament, the MVP of the finale, the Best Goalkeeper of the tournament and the Best Goalkeeper of the final.
Some of the major sponsors of the tournament include Bakewell Guyana Incorporated, ExxonMobil, the NSC and the Colin Talbot Construction Services.
In the second round of quarterfinal matches scheduled for Christmas Day, Golden Grove will match skills with Brusch Dam in the opening match from 20:00hrs, while Beterverwagting (BV) will oppose Ann’s Grove in the second encounter at 22:00hrs.
