After gathering some of the country’s top players to form what they’re calling “the most talked about football team in Guyana”, Slingerz Football Club (FC) will be launching their West Side Football tournament.
The Launching will take place on Monday February 11 in Georgetown where full details will be given as it relates to the tournament and the entertainment package in store for the nightly patrons.
Eight teams all hailing from the West Demerara area will vie for the competition’s first prize of $500,000, while second through fourth will pocket $300,000, $150,000 and $50,000 respectively.
Known across the Caribbean for their musical endeavors and being one of Guyana’s leading sound systems, Slingerz turned their attention to sports, putting together their football Club, while sourcing former National Defender Gordon ‘Ultimate Warrior’ Braithwaite as their coach.
National Goalkeeper Ronson Williams and 2012/2013 Kashif and Shanghai Tournament Most Valuable Player (MVP) Dwayne Jacobs joined forces with some present and past National Players on the squad who’s aim is to climb to the top of the sport both locally and regionally.
