Eagles face Net Rockers, Ward Panthers oppose Hi Stars at MSC
UDFA/ GT Beer Christmas football championship
Intense rivalry is expected tonight when the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) organized GT Beer Christmas football championship continues with two more matches at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground in Linden.
Following the opening night’s double header Net Rockers are out to open their campaign with a win when they face Eagles United as both teams play their first group game from 18.00h and the second will see Hi Stars of West Watooka take on Amelia’s Ward Panthers from 20.00h.
Net Rockers will fancy themselves getting out of their group but will have to start on a positive note against this upcoming Eagles side. The Rockers themselves have a group of youngsters from which they will choose their best team tonight including Orande Wills, former standout school boy player Shane Luckie and a seasoned Denzil Pryce on the forward line.
Defending three-time Champions Federal Winners Connections will face stiff competition this year
But the Eagles will call on the exciting young Christianburg Wismar Secondary ‘Multi’ School striker Omar Brewley who is destined to be one of the best players in the region and he will combine his talent with Tashiki Whitehead to bring his Christianburg side victory tonight.
The other game is also up for grabs as both teams are hoping to begin their quest on a positive note as Ray Bobbsemple should be key in this Panthers opening game; but equally important is the young talented Keshawn Dey playing defense and Omally Castello.
However, their opponents Hi Stars must rely on the free scoring ability that Tony ‘Spirit ‘ Adams brings to this side, in addition to the efforts of Jemrain McBean and Marley Major.
On Thursday, another set of matches are set for the MSC ground where there are ten teams in two groups hoping to make it to the last eight, and challenge the defending champions Federal Winners Connection for this championship they have won for the past three years.
The grand prize at stake is $1M compliments of beverage giants Banks DIH through their GT Beer brand along with several other incentives.
