Kaieteur News – The Petra organized MVP Sports Futsal Tournament is finally set to resume after a lengthy wait, with the semifinal round in both the Men’s and Women’s Division, which will be played this evening at the National Gymnasium.

When Kaieteur Sport had an opportunity to speak with the Director of the organizing team, Troy Mendonca, he disclosed that he anticipates a thrilling return to play for the teams that have been raring to go for quite some time.

“Although we had our scheduled pushed back it worked in our favour and I would guess the eight remaining teams also had more time to prepare, which means we will have well rested teams that are ready to fight for top honours.”

The female division will kick off proceedings at what is expected to be a minted venue as Fruta Conquerors go head to head with GT Panthers in the first semifinal from 20:00hrs, while Police tackle Tiger Bay to decide the other finalist from 20:45 hrs.

The Men’s MVP and the luckiest fan that attends the finale will each ride off with one of these bikes donated by Luminous Automotive and Motors. CEO of LA&M, Eron Baptiste (right) handed over the machines to Petra Director, Troy Mendonca, earlier in this week.

After that, the men spring into action with the first semifinal that features giant killing teams, Stabroek Ballers and Future Stars, which commences at 21:30 hrs. The winner of this match faces the victor of the Gold is Money versus Bent Street-encounter.
