Mar 22, 2013 Sports

The Easter weekend will soon be upon us and kite flyers and revelers would flock to fields and other open places to fly their kites as well as engage in picnic activities.

Even as these revelers seek out safe places the executive members of the Camptown Football Club would like to encourage them to visit their Campbellville Housing Scheme playfield when, in collaboration with patron of the club, Junior ‘Dice’ Francis, they present the 3rd edition of the Easter extravaganza, a solid week of fun filled family oriented activities.
Apart from the fun and frolic, organizers have also planned a two days winner-take-all mini football tournament between four teams. Camptown FC will oppose Fruta Conquerors on March 27 shortly before Alpha United take on Slingerz. The two winning teams will then clash on April 3 at the same venue in the final where the winner will pocket $200,000 in the winner take all affair. There will also be an exhibition match between an All Star team up against New York Stars.
Also on April 1, Energy Entertainment will hold a kite flying competition and a fun day on the Camptown field. Fans will be entertained with several 5 a-side football games for lucrative prizes. There will also be a bun eating competition as well as a kite flying competition where the best three competitors will receive lucrative prizes.
The organizers would like to encourage the attendance of all Guyanese in what they term good clean fun.
