The community of East Ruimveldt was once again treated to a day filled with football action as the Cavaliers Sports and Tour Club and the Guyana Hemp Industries collaborated to host a Pre-Emancipation Day 5-a-side football competition.
The sizeable crowd in attendance was able to witness teams like California Youths, Sparta Boss and East Front Road get a sweet taste of victory over their fellow community teams.
The East Ruimveldt Community Centre Ground was the place to be as a series of upsets rolled out. The California Youths treated their supporters to a 2-nil victory against Team Texas in the Under-13 category with Brian Burnett scoring both goals for the winning side.
In the Under-17 division, Sparta Boss and Team Legacy tied with two goals apiece, but the winner was decided with a late penalty from Akeem Young. Over in the Under-15 category, East Front Road defeated Alpha All-Stars by 3 goals to 2.
In addressing the presentation ceremony, Guyana Hemp Industries Region 10 (Linden) Chapter Chairman Mortimer Denny urged the participants to learn more about industrial hemp owing to the fact that it can create thousands of jobs at all income levels, create new industries, boost the economy, and eradicate poverty.
He further instructed the players to take their education and sports seriously so that they could gear themselves to make a meaningful contribution to the nation and the economy.
