‘One Guyana’ King and Queen of the Sand Football
Kaieteur Sports – The full line up of teams for the knockout rounds of the ‘One Guyana’ King and Queen of the Sand Football championships in Linden will be confirmed on Saturday night when the final round of the group stages is completed.
In the male/king segment of the competition, only groups B (top 2) and D (second team) are to be decided as groups A and C along with the female qualifiers have already been confirmed.
Group B is interestingly poised with three of the five teams locked on 7 points each, the top two on goal difference (GD) set to play their final matches and will both be seeking wins to advance. Spaniards are top with a +6 GD and will face bottom of the table UDK Victors.
Second in the group is Young Gunners with a +2 GD and they will oppose Lil Ballers who are just above UDK Victors, both out of the race. Foundation Family is also on 7 points with a -2 GD but they have exhausted their quota of four matches.
The other undecided group is Group D with one spot on the line as Bomberz have already qualified having accumulated 9 points from 3 wins and 1 loss. YMCA and Goal IQ have all to play for as both have a chance of being the team to join Bomberz in the knockout round.
YMCA (+5) are ahead of Goal IQ (+4) by a single goal with both on six points from two wins each and a loss, so this showdown which is the final match of the night is expected to be a humdinger of a clash.
The other teams already qualifying are: Group A (Hard Knocks and One Syde), Group C (LA Ballers and Team Minerals) and Group D, Bomberz to date.
In the Queens competition, GDF with a game in hand have already booked their place in the semifinals and they are joined by Hururu as the Group A top two. Over in Group B, Iconic Ballers have topped the group with a perfect three wins from as many matches with defending champions, Speightland having won one and lost the other match, set to face the pointless Rockstone in their final game, on Saturday.
Barring any major complications, the defending champions will most likely take care of business to seal the other spot from their group.
Final group stage matches for Saturday, June 21st.
