“No doubt we’d be victorious” MTI Captain – MODEC tertiary football…

Following a successful campaign in the recently concluded Mitsui Ocean Development & Engineering Company’s (MODEC) Tertiary Education Football tournament, winning Captain Odel Fordyce is hoping that his fellow players can now maximise their opportunities in the sport.
The Mahaicony Technical Institute (MTI) pulled off a stunning, high-scoring victory on Sunday last against the Upper Corentyne Industrial Training Centre (UCITC) to lift the first-ever MODEC Tertiary Education Football trophy.
A testament to Mahaicony’s dominance in the tournament, they also walked away with the lion’s share of the tournament’s individual prizes.
In the aftermath of their win, Captain Odel Fordyce shared that there was never a doubt that his troops would come out victorious.

The Captain told this publication, “From the moment we entered this tournament, you know, we came in and we wanted to come out victorious, and we trained, had team talks and so on. So, it was never a doubt that we would be victorious.”
Fordyce went on to divulge the reason for their dominance throughout the tournament, which saw them put up scores of 10–3, 2–1, 8–2, 2–1 and 6–3.
“Yes. Most of the guys on the team, we played together from small days coming up, so we know each other. We built that chemistry, so it was easier to play as a team,” he responded to enquiries about MTI’s commanding performances.

Already playing at the club level, the MTI Captain has high hopes for his teammates’ future in the sport.
“A few of the guys are already playing elite football, so I’m confident in all of them to go on to do great things,” Fordyce expressed.
Mahaicony’s Jeremy Thornhill, Niron Thom and Winton Hartman walked away with the tournament’s best goalkeeper, highest goalscorer and MVP awards, respectively.
The team is expected to receive a $300,000 grand prize that will be executed for a school project of their choice.
Also supporting MODEC in sponsorship of the competition were MACORP, Demerara Mutual, and Banks DIH under their Powerade brand.
