Lucozade adds power to Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers U-18 Tournament

There are just a few days remaining before this tournament kicks off, and distribution giants ANSA McAL, under their Lucozade brand, have again come on board the Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers U18 Football League.

This Sunday marks the beginning of the second annual Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers Under18 Schools’ Football Tournament, and the format being utilized for the league is not very common in schools’ football.
ANSA McAL had been part of the tournament last year with their Lasco/iCool portfolio. Highlighting the distributor’s continued support of not only football, but sport in general, Petra Co-Director Troy Mendonca explained that the company’s investment is a valuable on, since it boosts the sport and human development.
“It allows the players to develop physically, to interact with their peers, and meet new friends. So, in all, I think this investment is about human development also. So, on behalf of the football fraternity, we would like to say a special ‘thank you’, and we hope that you continue to do well as a company and continue to give your support,” Mendonca stated.
On the other side of the sponsorship was ANSA McAL’s non-alcoholic beverage coordinator Fareez Mohamed, who detailed the company’s commitment to sport and Guyanese citizens. He also used the opportunity to explain how the Lucozade beverage is perfect for the sport.
“This is the future of Guyana,” he opined. “Football has been growing over the years in Guyana. We’re very pleased to be on board under the brand Lucozade energy drink, which is one of the best on the market. It’s good for consumption, it’s healthy, (it’s) a brain food as well; and just as we heard about it, we confirmed. ANSA McAL is dedicated to the citizens of Guyana,” Mohamed explained.
The Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers League is expected to feature 10 schools; namely, defending champions Annandale Secondary, Bishops’ High School, St. Stanislaus College, St. John’s College, President’s College, Cummings Lodge Secondary, Marian Academy, Lodge Secondary, Queen’s College and Charlestown Secondary.
Action will begin on Sunday with two games, and continue on Monday, October 28. The winning school will be awarded $200,000 for a project of their choice, while the second, third and fourth place projects will be to the tune of $100,000, $50,000 and $25,000 respectively.
