A confident Rastafari aggregation is anxious for the whistle to be blown and that’s coming from Manager/player Allan La Rose. Player/Coach of the Baldhead squad, Dennis ‘Chow’ Hunte is equally full of optimism as the two sides get ready for their biennial Masters Football Classic set for the GFC ground tonight.
Among the former nationals who will be appearing for the Rastas are Gordon ‘Ultimate” Braithwaithe, Wayne ‘Blacks’ Peters and US-based Roger Alphonso. Also boosting the line-up will be Senegalese Moussa Gueye, St Lucian brothers Quint and Nick Odlum as well as Mexican Jose Blanco who all reside in California. Lloyd Smith, Hector Forte, Terry Frank, Neville “Natty” Wiltshire, Derek Gritten, Allan La Rose, Floyd Campbell, Aubrey Adams, Leon Gordon, Terry Plummer, and Junior Morgan complete the squad.
The Baldheads will have in their mix US-based former national Ossie Taylor along with past nationals Marlon DeSouza, Adrian Forde, Ewart Grenville and Phillip Carrington. The rest of the team includes Royston Erskine, Dennis Hunte, Peter Lashley, Kurt Alphonso, Eon Wills, Frank Parris, Shawn Nedd and Bill Wilson.
Tonight’s game will kick off at 19:00hrs and admission is free to children ladies, and males over-50 years. Organisers informed that support from the business was lacking this year with only Guyenterprise, AH Sports and Ketch-a-Fire Guyana Inc. responding in the affirmative.
