The Semi-finals in the Mayor’s Annual Knockout Inter-Ward football fiesta will kick off today with what
Stellon David
promises to be a thrilling double header from 6:30pm at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground.
The semis which will see four top class teams displaying their worth to advance to the finals will be must watch games when the two matches gets under the referees’ order.
The first mouth watering match, which will be contested between West Ruimveldt and Bourda is expected to be a fierce battle judging from the two teams’ previous performances in the tournament.
Dwayne Alli, Devon Millington, Philip Rowley, Nedd Fraser and Sherman David will lead West Ruimveldt who will look to draw first blood against Bourda.
Bourda team will be gunning to pressure West Ruimveldt with their strong line-up which includes striker Roy Stanton who scored in the quarter-finals in the 79th minute against Kuru Kururu, Keshawn Blackman, Keon Solomon, Allan Spence and Ronell McClean.
The spectators thirst will be quenched when the final match is played between the remaining two teams from 8:30pm. The skirmish between Wortmanville and West Ruimveldt Estate will see top football players spearheading both teams.
In the quarter-finals last Sunday, Wortmanville showed that they are a force to be reckoned with after crushing Alexander Village 4-0 to advance to today’s game. Forefront players for Wortmanville are Pernell Shultz, Eon Alleyne, Colin Edwards, Dellon Williams, Joshua Brown, Paul Daniels and Royan Morrison. Talented teenaged Shultz hat trick and Daniels’ goal allowed Wortmanville to advance easily.
West Ruimveldt Estate will be coming out with their ‘A’ game to earn a spot in the final and also to stomp their authority against the Wortmanville boys. The Pedro brothers (Hubert and Michael), Michael Oie, Stellon David and Randolph Morrison will lead West Ruimveldt Estate in the battle against Wortmanville.
The two top teams from the semi-finals will be clashing on April 13 in the final for $500,000 and $250,000; the two losing teams from tonight’s match will play for $150,000 and $100,000.
The traditional Mayor’s Annual Knockout Inter-Ward football fiesta will see the Most Valuable Player taking the Keishars’ US$100 prize. Similar amounts, which were donated by two other entities, will be awarded to the player that scores the most goals.

Both Sancho and Henry chances of grabbing the most goal scored prize are in the shadows since their teams are not in the semi-finals.
