Adoni Production football 5-a side tourney rescheduled to start today

Jul 03, 2012 Sports

 

The Adoni Production five-a side Football competition which was first held two years ago is being re-introduced under the concept ‘keeping your five alive’ and this year’s competition, originally scheduled to commence last Tuesday, should now start today, July 3, at the East Ruimveldt Community Centre ground, California Square.
Organizer Kevin Adonis told Kaieteur Sport that the competition, which saw $250,000 being awarded in cash and prizes in its inaugural year, will have $500,000 and trophies up for grabs this year.
Thirty-two teams have registered and for a team to remain ‘alive’ in the five-a-side competition which climaxes with the grand final on August 3, they must continue to win.
In addition to the East Ruimveldt Community Centre ground (California Square Tarmac), games will be contested at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac (NCC) and no admission fee will be charged at either of the venues to encourage large turn-outs.
Adonis said the competition has the potential to become the five-a-side version of the Kashif and Shanghai’s annual Football competition and added that security is a huge consideration for the Organisers to ensure responsible behaviour among the spectators.
A number of business entities have already committed their sponsorship including Ministry of Culture, Giftland Office Max, Hits & Jams TV, White Castle Fish Shop, Universal Janitorial Services, Lens Craft and Impressions, Star Part Rentals and Kids Closet and Adonis said he hoped the Media would also throw its support behind the tournament which he says seek to harness and develop the energies and talents of our youths in a positive way.
Four matches will be played on each night under lights with the first game kicking off from 19:00hrs.
Matches will be played at California Square on July 6, 20, 31 and at the NCC on July 10, 13, 17, 24, 27, before the final is also played there on August 3.  (Sean Devers)
