Karibee KO Cup – Final… Western Tigers face Rosignol @ GFC today
The battle lines will be drawn this evening at the GFC Ground when the final of the Karibee Rice knock-out football competition comes off with a clash between the boys from the East against the lads from the city.
It will be Berbice’ Rosignol United coming up against city side BK International Western Tigers in what is anticipated to be a keen contest between two sides that are also part of the Guyana Football Federation Super League Championship.
Rosignol United earned the right to contest the most important game of the tournament following a close 1-0 win over fierce rivals and fellow Berbice side, Monedderlust FC on Friday at the Blairmont Community Centre Ground.
Joel Singh
The player with the golden boot of the game was National Under-20 player Olvis Mitchell who worked his way into the Monedderlust box and let off and unstoppable shot in the 28th minute that eventually turned out to be the winner.
The game produced some fierce exchanges with Monedderlust taking the charge to the Rosignol boys who absorbed the pressure admirably.
Rosignol’s goalkeeper Joel Singh turned out to be another trump card for his side holding firm between the uprights. He brought off a brilliant save in the 80th minute to deny Monedderlust an equalizer.
This evening’s first game kicking off at 18:00hrs is a third place encounter between Pele and Monedderlust, another Georgetown / Berbice match-up that can very well set the tone for the remainder of the night.
Except for Monedderlust, the other three teams will be using the matches as valuable practice ahead of the commencement of the GFF’s 2012/2013 Super League which will kick off next weekend with four (4) matches across Guyana.
Kick off time this evening is 18:00hrs.
