Oct 03, 2012 Sports

Eight teams, comprising footballers from Georgetown and Berbice will vie for honours when the 2nd edition of the Karibee Rice Football competition, gets underway this Saturday October 6 at the Scott Church Ground, New Amsterdam starting at 18:00hrs sharp.
The tournament, organized by the Berbice based Piston Football Club, was initially slated to get underway in August last but a dispute between the organizers and the executives of the Berbice Football Association (BFA) forced a postponement while officials of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) mediated.
The two entities have subsequently ironed out their differences and players out of the Ancient County will now join their Georgetown counterparts battling for the top prize in a knockout format.   The Berbice teams are placed in Group A while the Demerara Teams will be in Group B with the various teams battling for the $200,000 first place prize; the runners-up receive half that amount. The will also be lucrative incentives for other participating teams and outstanding individual performances.
Berbice will field four teams including Cougars, Rosignol, Monedderlust and Pistons while the teams representing Demerara will be drawn from Western Tigers and Pele. Two other teams, Den Amstel of West Demerara and Victoria Kings of the East Coast, will complete the lineup. Matches would be played in Berbice as well as the capital City.
Activities get underway on Saturday with the Cougars FC against Rosignol United at the Scott Church Ground and will continue the following day when Pistons United play Monedderlust at the same venue.
The Georgetown teams get into action on Sunday 7th when Western Tigers tackle Dem Amstel at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground shortly before Pele and Victoria Kings square off in the feature attraction. Matches commence at 18:00hrs.
The semifinals are slated for Sunday October 14 at venues in Georgetown and Berbice while the finals will be played at the GFC Ground Bourda on October 21. Executive members of the sponsoring entity will be in attendance at the opening game and Chief Executive Officer; Mohin Persaud will kick off the ball to start the proceedings.
