Action in Soctiabank/Pepsi Schools Football Academy tournament is set to continue today with three matches at the Tucville Ground from 09:15hrs after orgainsers were forced to once again relocate matches.
President of Guyana Sports Development Foundation (GSDF) Colin Barker, told Kaieteur Sport that while they are forced to secure other playing venues they still have to be careful since the tournament is for both males and female players, “It is important to have changing facilities at the Grounds.”
Barker further stated that the challenge they are experiencing was not an issue last year as the competition started early and adverse weather was not an issue.
Despite this fact, Baker said that tournament is progressing satisfactorily and praised the organising committee for their great work, “Although we have challenges that we did not have last year, the programme is progressing satisfactorily. The students are enjoying it and the organising committee is doing a wonderful job in making the necessary adjustments.”
Matches today will see Lodge and North Georgetown Secondary facing off in a male match from 09:15hrs. Tucville and East Ruimveldt girls will then collide at 10:30hrs with another male match-up between Central High and Christ Church closing out the day’s proceedings at 11:45hrs.
More play is set for Wednesday May 9 at the same venue when Lodge and Campbellville Secondary oppose each other in a female game from 16:00hrs.
