The Mocha based Riddim Squad faced the same faith as Determinators in their opening match, as they drew with Camptown 1-1 in a thrilling draw which they achieved thanks to a Teon Jones goal.

Considering both teams have only played one match, walking away with a draw each, they will eager to get their first three-points as only the top two sides in each group reaching the quarter-finals.

In the second game, Ann’s Grove United will tackle Pouderoyen from 20:30h as both sides will also be looking for their first victory of the tournament.

Ann’s Grove avoided defeat against Santos due to an own goal but their performance on field throughout the match was certainly rewarding of goal.

The West Demerara side on the other hand had a less rewarding outing against arch rivals Den Amstel losing 2-0 at the Leonora Stadium.

Sitting in the cellar position in Group C, Pourderyen will be desperate for a win against an opponent who is just one place ahead of them.

The top teams are competing for a $500,000 first place prize while second to third will receive $250,000, $125,000 and $75,000 respectively.

In addition, the top teams in the groups will be rewarded $100,000, $50,000, $30,000 and $20,000.
