– Bourda and West Ruimveldt Estate to battle in 3rd place playoff
West Ruimveldt and Worthmanville will collide Saturday in the Mayor’s Cup Final
at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground after earning their spots from last Friday’s Semifinal games against Bourda and West Ruimveldt Estate respectively.
The West Ruimveldt boys received an easy victory in the first match of the night under the flood lights when they netted two goals against Bourda.
The Bourda boys who were overpowered by West Ruimveldt saw Daniel Favourite netting the first goal 26 minutes after the referee signaled the commencement of the game. Favourite’s simple goal was scored when Bourda goalkeeper plunged forward to stop an advancing ball and missed. This opportunity was not thrown away when Favourite lightly edged the ball towards the left side of the goal to score.
Bourda saw Keon Solomon and Keshawn Lovell trying endlessly to equalize the score but all goal scoring opportunities created were halted by the West Ruimveldt goalkeeper, who defended territory tenaciously. West Ruimveldt player Paul Giles added the final goal to account in 75th minute.
Wortmanville trounced West Ruimveldt Estate 4-0 in the feature game with Delroy Williams’ hat-trick in the 22nd, 33rd and 48th minutes and Germaine ‘Panky’ Junior’s goal in 69th minute.
The fierce battle between the top teams saw Wortmanville controlling the game from the start to the finish, displaying great ball control and techniques.
West Ruimveldt and Wortmanville will battle for the top prizes of $500,000 and $250,000 while Bourda and West Ruimveldt Estate will play for $150,000 and $100,000.
The Most Valuable Player (MVP) walks away with Keishars’ Gift Shop voucher worth US$100 along with a trip to Kaieteur Falls, compliments of Roraima Airways.

To date, several players are closely grouped to cart off the prize for the most goals scored; the group includes Anthony Sancho (4), Michael Henry (3), Hubert Pedro (3) Pernell Shultz (3) and newly added Delroy Williams (3). Both Sancho and Henry’s chances of grabbing the most goals scored prize are in the shadows since their teams are no longer in the competition.
