Mr. Olato Sam was appointed Public Relations Officer for club.
In his report, club president Odinga Lumumba commended the players, coaches and executive members for their efforts in maintaining the club’s superb record.
He urged players to set their sights on winning all the remaining local tournaments and ultimately doing the same at the CONCACAF Club Championship 2011.  He stressed the importance of the club shifting its focus to being equally dominant regionally and internationally.  Several new players have joined the team adding even more strength to the highly formidable Alpha United Football Club line up for the tournaments remaining for the rest of the year.

Triple header set for No. 5 Ground today

Football fans and supporters in the Ancient County of Berbice are in for a treat today when competition in the 3rd annual Cheddi Jagan Memorial knock-out Football tournament continues at the No. 5 Ground with a triple header.
Organised by the Berbice Football Association, rivalry will get started from 12:00hrs with a clash between City side Fruta Conquerors and defending champions New Amsterdam United in what is expected to be an exciting clash.
Already with a win, Conquerors will be led by Jomo Hinds who led his side to victory while New Amsterdam, will be hard pressed to get past the city side but are a confident unit which will bank of the experience of Adrian ‘Garnett’ Adams, his younger sibling Leonardo ‘Power’ Adams who just returned from Suriname with the Mayor’s Cup All Stars.
From 14:00hrs, Mahaica Determinators of East Coast and Winners Connection of Linden will add more flavour to the afternoon when they take centre stage with only the winner advancing.
The feature match-up of the day brings together Pistons United led by Earlan Hinds and Eon ‘Sugar boy’ Farley against the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) in yet another potentially explosive encounter.

Battle for title enters final curve today; 3 matches scheduled

Defending champions Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United will be aiming to consolidate their position at the top of the table when the second and final round of the Guyana Football Federation Super League sponsored by FIFA under the Win in CONCACAF with CONCACAF Initiative commences this evening at two venues.
The Georgetown Football Club will host a double header featuring Alpha being challenged by Seawall FC in the main attraction tonight from 20:00hrs with the opening salvo between Sunburst Camptown and the Guyana Defence Force.
Last weekend, Camptown were hammered by the GDF in the 3rd place playoff of the GFF Super 8 knock-out tournament and the talk is that they are coming out this evening from 18:00hrs to avenge that loss given the fact that they have always been taking care of business against the Army.
The match-up will be interesting with the Army confident of a repeat and will be throwing all the weapons they have at the Campbellville boys who also have some good artillery of their own. Who can use what they possess best on the night will walk away with full points. Camptown are ahead on points 16 to GDF’s 13.
Alpha, are sitting clear at the top of the table comfortably on 23 points their nearest rival being Rosignol United on 17.
The defending champs will take on West Demerara’s Seawall FC who are at the bottom of the table on 4 points.
Up at the Bartica Community Centre Ground, home team Liquid Gold will entertain Rosignol United from 18:00hrs.
The West Berbice based Rosignol currently occupy the second place on 17 points and are fancying their chances of improving their tally against the Bartica club side lying in the penultimate position with 7 points. (F. Wilson)
