Former national coach, Lennox Arthur has only just hosted an Inter-Ward knockout soccer tournament in commemoration of Mayor Hamilton Green’s 78th birth anniversary. Fans are still reveling in the action packed encounters and already Arthur is putting the modalities in place to host the annual Mayor’s Cup Football extravaganza, billed for the Georgetown Football Club Ground, March 15-31 next.
Mr. Arthur said that the tournament has always provided keen competition and he envisages a tournament of similar proportions this year. Monday morning he visited the Irving Street offices of K&S Football organization where one of the Directors, Aubrey ‘Shanghai’ Major donated several footballs as well as uniforms to facilitate the successful staging of the tournament.
Mr. Major said that he was encouraged to support the tournament especially since its objectives are on par with those of his organization—to maintain the growth of the sport. “This is certainly good for the game and I wish to encourage other members of the corporate community to render similar support,” said Mr. Major.
Mr. Arthur thanked his benefactor while saying that he plans approaching the business community for additional support. He said that he is optimistic that such support will not be withheld. In this photo he is seen receiving the gift from Mr. Major (left).
