Impressive ceremony as Fruta Conquerors One Love Classic KO football tourney commences
Fifteen teams of resplendently attired footballers graced the field in a colorful march pass ceremony when the curtains went up on the Fruta Conquerors One Love Classic knockout football tournament at the Tucville Ground yesterday afternoon and Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who took the salute minutes before delivering keynote remarks, congratulated the organizers for delivering such a splendid ceremony.
Officials led by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds (centre) and NAMILCO Boss Bert Sukhai (to Hinds’ right) share the podium during the opening (Inset) as the teams assemble during the ceremony.
Mr. Hinds had performed similar duties at the tournament’s opening last year and told the organizers that last night’s presentation was the better of the two. He reminded the players of the ability of the sport to unite people of different cultures and other dispensations even as he voiced the hope that the sport form an integral part of the school curriculum.
Other important persons at the forum included Mayor Hamilton Green, Managing Director of the National Milling Company (NAMILCO), Bert Sukhai, his financial advisor, Fitroy McLeod, engineer, Ralph Hemsing, President of the Guyana Football Association, Vernon Burnette and his Vice President, Rawle Adams and GFF President (ag), Franklin Wilson among others.
Shortly after the conclusion of the ceremony, the GDF took to the field against Northern Rangers in the first match of a double header that also saw Police and the Seawall FC in the feature attraction. Details of these matches will appear in a subsequent edition.
