Over two months of thrilling action from twenty-four teams, there is one piece of the tantalizing puzzle remains regarding who will be crowned champions in the sixth edition come the final on Saturday at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Will it be Buxton Youth Development? Will it be Sir Leon’s Lesson? What is sure is when the final whistle is blown a new team will lift the championship trophy in great delight.
Teshawn Gordon is vital member of Buxton Youth Development
Judging on their form heading into to this stage, it is hard to clearly pick a favourite. Buxton who are on their first outing in the tournament have arguably played the most technically sound football of the two.
Much of the ‘dream play’ have come from the feet of talismanic Teshawn Gordon and ably supported by captain Shemar Scott and Shemar Singh. The East Coast Demerara unit’s defence have only been breached thrice to date, an example of their alert both offensively and defensively.
There may be some joy for them knowing that Sir Leon’s defence were finally breached during the semi-final against Lodge Secondary. The Greenheart Street unit have been striking goals at an alarming rate many of which have come from Lennox Younge, Teon Forde and Zion Gray.
Both sides will be hoping to secure the first-place prize of $500,000 which goes towards a school project; second collects $300,000.
Before crust of the night’s action kicks-off from 19:00h the third-place clash will feature Annandale Secondary and Lodge Secondary from 17:00h which will see the winner copping $200,000 and the loser $100,000.
