Brian Tiwari 60th Birth Anniversary Football Tournament kicks off tomorrow

He is already recognised as a very successful businessman whose focus is mainly in the infrastructure and aviation sectors; but Brian Tiwari, of BK International Inc. fame, who celebrates his 60th birth anniversary on November 23, has a similar reputation for his support for sports.
In this regard, former national football player/coach Lennox Arthur has organized a tournament to honour the significant achievements of Brian Tiwari. Thus the staging of the Brian Tiwari Inter-Ward/Village Knockout Cup is scheduled to kick-off tomorrow at the Den Amstel Community Centre Ground, West Coast Demerara.
According to Arthur, teams from the western and eastern coasts and banks of Demerara, together with those from Georgetown, have been invited to participate in this two-day competition.
Arthur added that Tiwari has, over the years, been one of the most consistent sponsors of football and sports in general; and as a result of Tiwari’s unwavering support for tournaments such as the Mayor’s Cup and the Annual Hamilton Green Birthday KO Cup, he thinks it is only fitting for him to organize a special event in honour of Brian Tiwari.
Among the teams listed to participate in the tournament are: Sophia, Wales, Plaisance, Lima Dam, Crane, Timehri, Zeelugt, Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke, Den Amstel and Bagotville.
The organisers have scheduled six matches to open the tournament, with hosts Den Amstel slated to appear in the feature clash against Bagotville.
The other fixtures are: Sophia versus Wales, from 16:00hrs; Plaisance vs. Lima Dam at 16:30hrs; Crane vs. Timehri from 17:00hrs; Kuru Kururu vs. Zeelugt at 17:30hrs, and Den Amstel (Back Street} vs. Soesdyke at 18:00hrs.
Prize monies totaling in excess of $150,000 and trophies will be up for grabs, with the winning team set to receive $100,000 and the runner-up $50,000.
The final will be played on December 2nd at the same venue.
