Play in the Mabaruma Inter-Block football tournament got underway yesterday with a victory for Mabaruma Compound over Mabaruma Settlement.
Midfielder Troy Willis fired home the winner in the 20th minute of play to secure his team’s triumph.
The programme was opened by Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Sport, who is the sponsor and organiser for this event, Steve Ninvalle. This is the 14th such activity to have been organised and staged by the ministry.

Today Ninvalle and Hunte travel to Wauna where two more games will be staged in the competition, which will climax on Sunday with the final.
