Bartica, Three Miles girls’ clash moved to Friday in ExxonMobil U18 tournament

The female match between Three Miles Secondary and Bartica Secondary in the inaugural ExxonMobil Under-18 Schools Football Tournament has been moved to Friday at 14:00h, organisers have confirmed.
The encounter, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday, will still be played at the Bartica Community Centre Ground.
