Bourne urged fellow business owners to make valuable contributions to youth development so that the foundation of the future could be built. The businessman reiterated that more gear would be donated in the future.
The Digicel tournament will see more than 130 schools throughout Guyana competing this season for a major grand prize. Following the regional rounds, a round-of-32 teams will make up a national championship, of which 13 schools will come from Georgetown. Regions Three and Six would each have two teams, as would East Coast Demerara, East Bank Demerara, Region Seven and Region 10 respectively. Regions One, Five, Eight and Nine would each have one school.
The national champions will receive $1,000,000 and the championship trophy, while the second-, third-, and fourth-place finishers would get $500,000, $300,000, and $200,000 respectively.
All incentives will go towards a school project, with prizes also expected for the Highest Goal Scorer, Best Goalkeeper, and Most Valuable Play.
