Hamilton Green 9-a-side Inter-Ward/ Village KO Cup…
With eight exciting matches scheduled to be played tomorrow in the Hamilton Green 9-a-side Inter-Ward/Village KO Cup round of 16 in commemoration of the 84th Birth Anniversary of the former Mayor of Georgetown, the action is set to be the talk of the town.
Matches are scheduled to be played at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground. The opening match features Plaisance taking on Sophia at 17:00hrs, with both teams aiming to qualify and advance to the next round, and claim the coveted prize of being deemed champions.
Central Mackenzie will tackle Mahaica at 17:30 hrs. The Linden, considered strong favourites, are expected to progress easily; but the land of cultivators – Mahaica — should not be taken lightly, as they may very well spring a surprise.
That game will then be followed by the one featuring Newtown Kitty facing off against the Wolves at 18:00hrs, before Sara Lodge look to shut the doors in their 18:30hrs matchup against Kuru Kururu. In other matches Uitvlugt and Stewartville will face off in the match of the night at 19:00hrs, before Goed Fortuin and Sophia ‘B’ collide at 19:30hrs.
Crane and Wales will then square off from 20:00hrs, before Pouderoyen and West Side Masters bring an end to the night’s proceedings when they take to the field at 20:30hrs. In excess of $700,000 and lots of prizes, including the coveted first prize of $400,000 and the championship trophy compliments of the Ministry of Citizenship, are up for grabs.
The runner-up will be awarded $200,000 and trophy, through the goodwill of John Fernandes Ltd, while third and fourth place finishers will receive $60,000 and $40,000 respectively along with the Techno Mills and Courtney Benn Construction Services trophies in that order.
The Most Valuable Player will be awarded a special prize from Techno Mills.
The tournament is being co-ordinated by former national player/coach Lennox Arthur.
