I’d like to congratulate the promoters of this event for organising in such a big way to deliver a thrilling experience to the players and fans of football.”
Lynton Luke, head of Cool Crew Promotions, has thanked the importers and distributors of 592 Beer for their collaboration, adding: “This year, our competition will match skills from East Coast Demerara and West and East Berbice.”
He explained that teams are allowed three guest players “to help strengthen the side”, and disclosed, “We also have games playing in different venues on the West Coast and East Coast of Berbice.”
Matches will be played at the #5 Village ground, Rosignol ground and Victoria Community Centre Ground.
