GFC and Police set up “Dream Final” in Corona Invitational Cup

The young talent of GFC will line up against the experience of the Guyana Police Force FC tonight in the final of the inaugural Corona Beer Invitational tournament at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC).
The hosts will be led by their most prolific scorer in recent times, Nigerian Benjamin Opara who has managed the incredible feat of scoring in every game he has played thus far.
Police will feel they can rely on experience as they come up against a GFC team with pure youth and talent.
At a recent press briefing held at GFC, Bourda, the management of both teams expressed optimism of producing a winning result in high-octane action.
GFC Manager Fizal Khan had bluntly stated: “We have not come this far to come this far. We came this far to keep going.”

GFC who just last month celebrated their 115th anniversary as a club will be playing in their first final in almost a decade.
Shaquille Bowen who will captain GFC and has been with the club since the U-15 level has acknowledged their opponent’s experience but pointed towards his side’s youth and talent.
On the opposing side, the lawmen are cautious but confident of adding another title to their collection.
With GFC holding the upper hand as they defeated Police 3-0 during the group stages, Police Coach Dwayne Bobb said that he looked at the defeat as an eye-opener and noted that his side will be very cautious.
The first game of the double header brings together Western Tigers and Northern Rangers in the third place play-off from 19:00h before the grand finale at 21:00h.
The stakes are high with the winners set to pocket $1 million and the championship trophy, while second to fourth place teams will walk away with $400,000, $200,000 and $100,000 respectively and the corresponding silverware.
