Northern Rangers seeking glory with experience and talent

– Corona Beer Invitational Tournament

By Michelangelo Jacobus

Having gone unbeaten thus far in the Corona Beer Invitational football tournament, the Northern Rangers are in contention to win a competition for the first time in five years.
The last time the Rangers were in a semi-final, the year was 2013, and midfielder Anthony Sancho is of the opinion that his team has what it takes to go all the way.
“Training, hard work and experience are some of the things that we have on our side, we are not a well-known team so our unbeaten run is something special to us, this tournament (Corona Beer Invitational) is good for us, it is good for football” the lanky midfielder revealed.

In addition the fact that the team is now being coached by a professional in Jermain Dennard further bolsters the side’s chances.
While Sancho has been phenomenal as an attacking midfielder he pointed out that teammates such as winger Sunil Logan, Stephon Reynolds and Kwame Holder have all put in hard work and great performances throughout the tournament.
Ahead of Sunday’s semi-final where they will be facing GFC (Georgetown Football Club), Sancho is backing his team’s experience as they aim to come out on top.
“The team is working together nicely and the guys are all contributing to our performances, GFC is a young side and we have some experienced players who have been there and done that, we are aiming to win this competition and that is our ultimate goal”.
The semi-finals of the Corona Beer Invitational tournament will be played on Sunday evening at the GFC ground with the Northern Rangers taking on GFC at 19:00hrs while Western Tigers who are also unbeaten will take on Police FC at 21:00hrs.
The four remaining teams are playing for a first place prize of one million dollars and championship trophy while second to fourth will pocket $400,000, $200,000 and $100,000 respectively and the corresponding accolades.
