Quarter-final action in the GT BEER/Berbice Football Association competition will occur tonight at the All Saints School Ground on Princess Elizabeth Road, in New Amsterdam.
Pre-tournament favourites Georgetown Police will take on Rosignol United and Edinburgh Gunners will come up against the Black Sharks of Fyrish in game two.
The Police could be in for a tough time against the improving Rosignol team which bounced back to win three games in the preliminary round after their opening game loss to Edinburgh.
Game two will see the last two Region Six teams to remain in the competition facing each other. Edinburgh with a perfect record coming out of the preliminaries will start as favorites. The Black Sharks had only one win in the preliminary round.
The first game tonight is expected to kick off at 19:30h.
Meanwhile, semi-final action is scheduled for Christmas night at the same venue with Monedderlust and Beacon FC having already booked their spots. The two teams won their quarterfinal matches on Sunday in convincing style.
Monedderlust brushed aside Arsenal 2-nil in a one-sided affair. A 19-minute goal from Kelvin Joseph and another from Jamal Joseph seconds before the half-time whistle were enough to help their side progress.
Beacon won their game by a more convincing margin but by no means was it an easy win. The game which ended 4-nil was one of the more competitive seen in the tournament thus far.
It was a hat-trick by Deon Alfred scoring in the 19, 29 and 57 minutes, which led the way. Travis Lyken was once again on the scorer’s card after his 29-minute goal.
Monedderlust will take on the winner of the Edinburgh Gunners/Black Sharks game in the semi-final while Beacon FC and the winner of the Georgetown Police/Rosignol game. The final is slated for New Year’s day
The winner of the competition will walk away with $500,000 while the second place team will receive $300,000. Monetary prizes will also be awarded to the third and fourth place finishers.
