Old School vs Future Stars… Who will be crowded champions?
If ever there was a story of two teams with contrasting styles, tonight’s anticipated epic showdown between Ol’ Skool Ballers and Future Stars is one such example when they meet at the National Gymnasium.
Despite the fact that both teams are as hungry as ever for success, the difference between them is that one has the best rated defence in Future Stars, who are yet to concede a goal in regulation time, while the other, Ol Skool Ballers is just one goal shy of the championship leading scorers Leopold Street who registered 14 goals.

It therefore sets up the clash for an electrifying conclusion to what has been an exciting introduction of the Cage format which is being played for the first time in Guyana.
Impressive
The battle for the lucrative $400,000 first prize, championship trophy and the right to etch their name in the records of being crowned the first winner of the Guinness Cage / Three Peat Promotions Indoor Championship is truly on.
Aside from the financial rewards anyone who knows these two teams can confirm their thirst to be the best so you will have to agree that they will leave everything on the floor. These two teams are noted for their never say die approach and spectators who converge at the National Gymnasium tomorrow evening is in for a real exhibition of guts and skill.
Ol Skool Ballers
Ol’ Skool Ballers has shown throughout the championship that big names don’t matter and their victory over the previously indomitable Sparta Boss was followed by wins over the two Albouystown units and they then crowned it off with an impressive win over the usually stubborn – Back Circle in the semi-finals.
On the other hand, Future Stars has been there before and is now being touted as the ‘new kids on the block’ to replace the fading Sparta Boss.
The third place playoff has much similarity as the final with Back Circle aiming to dent the aspirations of Leopold Street, who seems to be a recharged bunch, while also trying to remain amongst the elite teams.
The runner-up, third and fourth placed finishers will collect $200,000, $100,000 and $50,000 respectively, while the Most Valuable Player (MVP) will receive a gold chain compliment of YK Investments and Pawn Shop and a trophy from Trophy Stall. Among the other sponsors on board are: Star Party Rentals, Faye Joseph, Claude Geddes Recreational Sports Club, National Sports Commission, Windjammer International Hotel & Cuisine, E-Networks, Woodpecker Trophies & Sport, Y.K Investments & Pawn Shop, Henry Chase, Jai Signs, Trophy Stall, the Bike Shop and John Fernandes Ltd.
Meanwhile, the Organisers continue to extend thanks to the sponsors, fans and ranks of the Guyana Police Force for their support throughout the championship.
Four exhibition matches will be played before the third place playoff.
Kick off time is 20:00hrs.
