Buxton Stars, GFC, Fruta Conquerors, Northern Rangers vie for points
Limacol Football Tournament…
Scintillating action spawned of keen rivalry will again feature at the Ministry of Education Ground on Carifesta Avenue in Georgetown when the Limacol Football Tournament continues this evening with a double-header.
A glimpse of the action in this tournament, which began on Saturday last
Four teams, namely Buxton Stars, Georgetown Football Club (GFC), Fruta Conquerors Under-20, and Northern Rangers, will be looking to secure their first set of points in this fourth edition of the New GPC-sponsored tournament.
With each team heading into its first game of the 2019 tournament, winning will be a priority in order to set the tempo for the remainder of the round-robin segment.
Action will begin at 19hrs, when Buxton Stars come up against Georgetown Football Club (GFC). This East Coast/ Georgetown clash is expected to be witnessed by lots of spectators and generate much excitement, given the expertise either side possesses.
Having both reached the quarterfinal stage last year before being knocked out, each team will have a point to prove, and this will make for an exhilarating encounter.
Fruta Conquerors Under-20 will go toe-to-toe with Northern Rangers at 21:00hrs in a match that pits a young side against a vastly experienced side, given Northern Rangers’ age component. Fruta Conquerors are currently on a good run, having finished third in the KFC Under-20 tournament played earlier this year; while the Northern Rangers will be looking to present themselves as the underdogs, having missed out on last year’s quarterfinals because of a few near misses.
With two exciting games on the cards, spectators are urged to be present at the Ministry of Education Ground this evening in order to experience first-hand the vicissitudes of football fortune.
This tournament is sponsored by the New GPC under their Limacol brand, and is supported by W.J Enterprise.
The champions of this tournament will walk away with $400,000, while second place contenders will have to settle for $200,000. Third and fourth place contenders will receive $100,000 and $50,000 respectively.
