Mohamed’s Enterprise/ExxonMobil futsal…
The Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) hard court will tonight be illuminated from 19:00hrs for the finale of the Mohamed’s Enterprise/ExxonMobil futsal tournament, which sees Figgy Green Jags and Germans United playing for top honours.
This is the final of seven nights of high intensity futsal involving 20 teams from Linden, Georgetown and West Demerara; and according to a release, organisers of the event, New Era Entertainment, have stated that all systems are in place for fans to enjoy the anticipated matches in a safe and secure environment.
Jags are pegged as the favourites to lift the championship trophy while pocketing the $600,000 first place cash prize, but the road ahead in this regard is not easy; as, unlike the 14-8 semifinal victory against Quiet Storm, they come up against the doughty Germans.
John ‘Brown boy’ Waldron, with his flair and power shots, will be one of the players to watch for the fan favourites Jags, while the youthful Andre Mayers of Germans United has proven that he is capable of keeping up the pace and outperforming many of the seasoned campaigners in Linden.
The evening starts with an exhibition match between Silver Shattas and High Star, and this would surely be a worthy warm-up to pique the fans’ interest in what ought to be a suspenseful third place playoff between Quiet Storm and Goodfellas.
The third match of the night will involve the animated Harry’s Seven and Nut Genasyde before the finale.
The runners-up will receive a handsome $250,000, third place winners $100,000 and fourth place winners $50,000.
