Who will make it to the business end today?

The venue is the Den Amstel Community Centre ground, and the event is the Hamilton Green 9-a-side Inter-Ward/Village KO Cup, which is set to resume today with twelve riveting matches anticipated to commence from 15:00hrs.
According to tournament coordinator Lennox Arthur, a former national player/head coach, because it is the penultimate round, the battle for prize monies in excess of $700,000 is expected to definitely provide fans with some exciting encounters, as teams try to position themselves for final day action, scheduled for November 24.
At 15:00hrs, Sophia ‘A’, led by Joshua Kamal and Shemroy Arthur, take on Stewartville, who will have in their line-up the likes of Gary Mingo, Stephon Gibson and Leon Whyte.
This encounter will be followed by the clash between Charlestown and Vergenoegen, with the skilful Jamal Cozier and Keiron Solomon expected to lead the attack for Charlestown, with support from William Europe; while Vergenoegen’s quest for victory will depend on the services of Horace and Kerron Caines.
The Mahaica-versus-Agricola matchup should be another enthralling encounter, with Kurt Roberts, Dellon Charles and Eion Abel expected to lead the charge for Mahaica, while Gordon Grant, Leon Moore and Collis Samuels would be looking to secure Agricola’s chances of advancing.
Lucian Hercules, Seon Barron and Kevin Crawford will then look to lock up Central Mackenzie’s berth in the final round, while Quacy Blue, Curwin Williams and Traif Moses will aim to do the same for Liliendaal.
The next game would pit Sophia ‘B’ against Plaisance, and this encounter has all the ingredients needed to produce fireworks, with Ernie and Peter Smith and Jermaine Nedd expected to lead the former’s pursuit of victory; while Kevin Liverpool, Keon Kyte and Travis Simon are the key to the latter’s search for a win.
In the feature game, hosts Den Amstel will rely heavily on the display of Keswin Fraser, Malcolm Miggins and Anthony Benn to engineer a win, while the opposition De Kinderen’s hunt for an upset will depend on how well Colin Henry, Jalleel Samuels and Darrel Alexis plays.
