The resulting winners will advance to the final at 22:00hrs while the loser will contest the third place playoff at 21:00hrs.
The winner of the event will pocket $200,000 and the championship trophy, while the second, third, and fourth-place finishers will receive $100,000, $75,000, and $50,000, respectively.
Esan Griffith, Coordinator of the Championship, said, “The tournament is heading for an exciting conclusion. All the notable and recognised teams from the East Bank/West Demerara environs have advanced to the semifinal round, and any one of them can emerge victorious and walk away with the inaugural crown and the bragging rights for their communities for one year. We are grateful to the teams and the fans for their support, and we anticipate a tremendous conclusion to the event, which has a bright future and all the makings of a long-term project that will be anticipated by the teams each year.”
He further said, “More importantly, the tournament has been incident and controversy free, which is significant. All systems are in place for the culmination, and we anticipate an exciting night of action, which will set up the remainder of the season as we aim to target other areas and communities and expand the reach and brand of the event. The event is in its infancy and can only grow and improve and get better with each iteration. This is what we are working towards so that the event can become a household name in Guyana. This is our primary objective.”
