Inter-Market Futsal Tournament rescheduled
Organisers of this year’s 2nd Annual Inter-Market Futsal Football Competition Stabroek Warriors Sports held a press briefing yesterday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall to make the disclosure of the event’s rescheduling due to circumstances beyond their control.
Co-ordinators O’Neil Durant and Roy Ridley, both of whom were present at the briefing informed the media that the previously scheduled start of the tournament, which was due to begin on July 31 and run until August 18, will now be played on November 6-22 at the same venue.

According to Durant, the change in date was due to the Ministry of Sport’s decision to host an International Science Fair during the months of August to October and that will be followed by the staging of events for the Inter-Guiana Games shortly after and these two events have been given priority.
Durant took the opportunity to appeal to participants, sponsors and fans to bear with the Organisers since the postponement was entirely beyond their control, but was assured by the relevant authority that the new dates for the staging of the tournament has been confirmed.
He also added that participants will enjoy increased prize monies with the winning team set to receive $350,000, runner-up-$200,000, 3rd place-$100,000 and 4th place-$50,000.
According to him, there has been an increase of over $150,000 for the winners since the inaugural tournament.
Meanwhile, the National Sports Commission issued a release pertaining to the rescheduling of the tournament and the following is its content:
This serves to inform that Stabroek Warriors Sports was granted permission to use the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall to conduct its 2nd Annual Inter-Market Futsal Competition during July 31-August 18, 2012.
Unfortunately, this activity has to be rescheduled as the venue has been identified to host an International Science Fair during August –October, 2012.
The National Sports Commission regrets any inconvenience caused and is prepared to accommodate this competition at a later date.
Thank you.
