Mayor’s Cup Annual KO Inter Ward Football

More gripping encounters as tournament progresses

Tiger Bay will square off with Alberttown in a highly anticipated thriller moments before West Ruimveldt opposes Newtown in another masterpiece when action continues in the Mayor’s Cup Annual Knock-Out Inter Ward Football tournament at the Georgetown Football Club this afternoon.
Tiger Bay will field a strong lineup as it attempts to cart off the $500,000 put up by Banks DIH for the team that finishes first. Captain of that team, Solomon Austin will be parading the centre half position with Shemroy Author in the midfield position and striker, Rensford Coldridge should provide valuable support. Calvin Shepard, who has been performing in the Pro Leagues in Trinidad and Tobago, will also comprise the squad thus heightening its chances of progressing to the next round.
Alberttown will also feel that it has an even chance of winning with the likes of the prolific Michael Henry who is in the hunt for the most goals prize after breaching the uprights thrice in earlier games. Two worthwhile defense players, Delon Cadogan and Michael Stewart should present problems for the Tiger Bay squad which presents an interesting scenario.
The West Ruimveldt/Newtown Kitty match should also an interesting affair. The formidable strike duo of Nedd Fraser and Devon Millington should present a strong challenge for the team from Newtown Kitty. Add the skills and versatility of Dwayne Ali and Sherman David in the defense and the Newtown Kitty side could be hard pressed to advance.
However, that team boasts an equally strong lineup in midfielder Gavin Bobb and strikers Eon Hopkinson and Prince Wharton. Then there is Michael Stewart in the defense that creates doubts of the opposition’s ability to get past the defense cordon. The action so far has been riveting and from all indications this trend is set to continue.
Meanwhile, Digicel will put up the second prize of $250,000 while Beepat and Sons has donated $150,000 for the team finishing in the third place. The Guyana Beverage Company will take care of the $100,000 fourth prize.
Several other corporate entities have also contributed to the success of the tournament including MACORP, John Fernandes Ltd, Nazar Mohamed of Mohamed’s Enterprise, Lombard Street, CIDI, General Equipment Guyana Ltd, New Thriving Restaurant, Sterling Products and Courtney Benn Construction Company.
Activities commence at 16:30hrs. Other playing dates are April 1, 4, 6, 10 and 13 when the final and third place playoff will be staged.
