A timely gift from Giftland as K&S preparations continue
In just under one month football lovers will witness the kickoff of the Kashif and Shanghai football extravaganza, scheduled to get underway on December 16 next. Corporate input has always been the oxygen to the success of the tournament and many local entities have acquiesced to tangible support which in turn would give the organizers added resources to enhance the quality of the tournament.

cheque from Mr. Babb in the presence of Kashif Muhammad.
Yesterday morning, Giftland Office Max, Water and Holmes Streets, Georgetown continued to demonstrate good corporate citizenship when the management handed over a substantial cheque to the two principals of the K&S organization. Public Relations Manager of the donating company, Compton Babb, handed over the gift and expressed delight at once again being afforded the opportunity of supporting the K&S tournament and by extension, local football development. He wished the organizers well and urged the public to support the tournament. This is Giftland’s 7th year on the sponsorship team and Mr. Babb pledged future support for the tournament.
Mr. Muhammad was grateful for the support and told Mr. Babb just so. “We are indeed pleased that we have been able to build a high level of confidence among your executives to cause them to continue supporting our tournament,” he said.
The Director also intimated that all systems are in place and hinted that patrons might get an opportunity to win motorcycles at all of the games providing requests for support from several business entities are favourably acknowledged.
Already, the organizers have collected two motorcycles which will be put up as gate prizes for the patron whose ticket stub is pulled during a draw at the game. Further, the best coach receives one motorcycle, while the Most Valuable Player will win a luxury motor car.
Additionally, the winning team wins with four million dollars and a trophy. Prime Minister Samuel Hinds has donated the trophy as well as a lucrative financial package that will be given to the winning team in the U-13 tournament that will be played simultaneously with the main tournament.
The team finishing second receives one million dollars while the third and fourth places will cart off $750,000 and $500,000 respectively.
