Inter Ministry/Corporation 7-A-side football competition kicks off this afternoon

May 22, 2012 Sports

 

Football fans are in for a treat when the curtains go up on the Inter Ministry/Corporation 7-A-side football competition this afternoon at the Banks DIH Thirst Park Ground starting at 16:00hrs.
Activities would be staged under the Powerade brand, a nutritional drink manufactured by main sponsors, Banks DIH Ltd and there will be 5 matches starting with GNIC up against GPL. Forty five minutes after the commencement of the first match, Neal and Massy will match skills with Lucky Dollar followed by Lotto up against Digicel. In the other two matches, NIS will take on the Ministry of Public Works, while Banks DIH and the Republic Bank will bring the curtains down on tonight’s activities. The tournament continues on Saturday May 26 with 5 other enthralling encounters and would conclude on Thursday June 19 with the third place playoff and subsequently, the final.
A total 22 teams are registered for what has been touted as a tournament that promotes fitness in what the organizers said stemmed from the projection of Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Frank Anthony, in the physical fitness initiative. The initiative will also serve to promote cohesiveness within the work place since it allows those within the corporate fraternity to engage in recreation even as they maintain healthy habits.
Among those teams competing for a first prize of $250,000 and a trophy are GNIC, GPI, Neal and Massy, Lucky Dollar, Digicel, Amerindian Affairs Ministry, Republic Bank, Courtney Benn Contracting Company, Guyana Water Authority, GPL and NIS among others. The second place finishers win $175,000, while third and fourth places receive $75,000 and $25,000 respectively.
Several other corporate entities have joined with Banks DIH and contributed towards a successful tournament including Giftland Office Max, Talk is Cheap, Ross Gas Station and Hopkinson Mining among others.
