Explosive semis set for Mayor’s KO Football Thursday at GFC
Explosive matches are anticipated Thursday night at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground, Bourda when the annual Mayor’s knockout football tournament reaches its semifinal round.

The major question on fans minds is whether Slingerz and Alpha will maintain their dominance to clash for the Mayor’s Cup and the $1M at stake along with Ricks and Sari hampers.
The double header opens with Alpha United taking on Den Amstel at 18:30hrs, while Slingerz of the West side tackle the winner of last night’s quarterfinal between Conquerors and GDF in the second match at 20:30 hrs.
Alpha, as was noted before, is not the number one club by chance. They have the firepower and ability as they have shown for some time now, led by Richard Reynolds in goal, Travis Grant, Bevon Mosley, Andrew Murray, Dwight Peters, Gregory Richardson and leading goal scorer Anthony Abrams among others. Den Amstel are in for a torrid time.
Slingerz of the Westside have designs on Alpha’s place as the country’s number one team. They have their work cut out to reach that status. Once they advance from the semis and Alpha also does, then this match would be a great indicator of where they are at.
Slingerz will look to Dwayne Jacobs, Joshua Brown, Anthony Harding, Tichard Joseph, Andre Hector and Kester Jacobs to spearhead their challenge.
Two exciting semifinals are expected and should the pair reach Sunday’s final…fireworks is promised.
The winner in this tournament will cart off $1,000,000, while the runner up will take home $500,000; the third and fourth place finishers will receive $300,000 and $200,000 respectively.
The sponsors on board are Two Brothers Gas Station, Mohamed’s Enterprise, General Equipment Guyana Ltd, Bakewell, Guyana Beverage Inc, MaCorp, CBR Mining, Digicel and Ansa McAl.
