The Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground, Bourda is the venue tonight when the semifinal lineup will be determined for the annual Mayor’s knockout football tournament.
Already through to the Wednesday April 3 semifinals are Alpha United, who are down to face Den Amstel, and Slingerz, who will face the winner of tonight’s contest between Fruta Conquerors and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). Wednesday’s winners advance to next Sunday’s finale and the losers’ battle in the third place playoff.
However, all attention is now focused tonight on who will claim the final semi berth. Will it be Conquerors who will have Dellon Williams, Trevon Lythcott, Eon Alleyne, Pernell Schultz, Jamaal Greaves and Jermaine Junior leading their challenge? Or would it be the GDF who will look to the dependable Royan Morrison, Eusi Phillips, Delwyn Fraser, Marlon Benjamin, Desford Williams and Shawn Arthur to take the last final four spot.
