Oct 28, 2012 Sports

 

 

Play in the 2012 / 2013 Season of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Super League is set to kick off today with four matches at venues around the country. At the Blairmont Ground, commencing at 15:30hrs, home team Rosignol United will come up against Milerock of Linden in a game that is expected to be highly competitive.
With the two teams being considered the best in their respective locations, the Berbice spectators are in for a treat. Milerock is coached by National Under-20 Coach Bryan “Joe Boy” Joseph, while Rosignol United is led by Keith O’Jeer, who also an Assistant National Coach.
Both are shrewd technicians of the game hence the game is expected to be very tactical.
At BV Ground commencing at 15:30 hrs, Newcomers BV/Triumph United will engage Amelia’s Ward of Linden in a match which is anticipated to create some amount of excitement.
BV, are the East Demerara / Stag Beer League leaders and their opponent, Amelia’s Ward placed fourth in the last Super League tournament, their debut season. The boys from the Bauxite Mining town boys will look to continue in that same vein.
BV/Triumph, who will be playing at home, are expected to use the home turf advantage to full advantage backed up by their many passionate and vocal supporters, the Lindeners will have it rough.
Over at the Uitvlugt Ground, West Coast Demerara starting at 15:30hrs, last year’s newcomers Den Amstel will host Buxton United of East Demerara in what is expected to be another interesting match-up.
Buxton United, under the tutelage of GFF Technical Development Officer, Lyndon France and coached by Herbert McPherson will not be intimated by the boys from the West Side although the Den Amstel boys finished higher than them in the last tournament.
Coach Bilal Nantambu has been taking them through their paces and it will be a battle of who delivers on the day; both teams will have a number of promising young players on their slate which can bolster their chances for a win to get their campaign off to a solid start.
And at the GFC in the City, the lone Super League game will feature BK Int. Western Tigers against the other West Demerara side, Uitvlugt Warriors. That encounter will start at 19:00hrs.
However there will be a bonus game that starts at 17:00hrs when a Barbados Masters team comes up against Hearts of Oak of Berbice in a Goodwill clash.
The Tigers are just off winning the Karibee Rice knock-out tournament and will still be brimming with confidence as they take on the once mighty Uitvlugt Warriors which has produced a number of former National including current sensation Trayon Bobb.
This is Uitvlugt’s debut year in the Super League and Western Tigers, first runner-up last year will have their work cut out. The Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United / Pele GFC match which was also slated for today has been shifted to Wednesday October 31.
