Coordinator Lennox Arthur is expressing heartfelt thanks to all the sponsors, big and small, for their assistance in ensuring the tournament came off. He noted that this year they moved away from staging a club tournament but opted for the Inter Ward format because the organising committee wanted to stay away from any football politics. He noted that his interest is seeing football played without any inhibitions and that growth takes place in the sport and among the players.
Meanwhile, individual awards will be presented to the outstanding players with the MVP down to receive a trip to Kaieteur Falls compliments of Roraima Airways and a Lazy Boy recliner from AH&L Kissoon our local furniture giant. The highest goal scorer will get a $20,000 gift voucher from Keishar’s. Leading that hunt is Anthony Sancho with 4 followed by Desford Williams, Pernell Schultz and Hubert Pedro all with 3 and in with a chance of increasing that tally.
Arthur has also promised fans turning out for the finals improved lighting, seating and toilet facilities on Saturday.
