Solomon for Botofago 7-A-Side Football
President of the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA), Sharma Solomon will deliver the feature address at the opening ceremony of the Botofago Seven-A-Side Football competition, which will be held during the Linden 2013 Town Week.
Chairman of the Linden Town Week Committee, Eon Halls, will kick off the ball to set the competition in motion at 10:00am at the Silvertown Play field on Sunday April 28th, 2013.
All ten affiliated clubs of the UDFA are expected to participate in the knockout competition with the first three teams receiving cash prizes, trophies and medals.
The one-day fundraising football extravaganza is a collaboration of the Botofago Football Club and the Silvertown All Stars Sports Club in which there will also be draughts and dominoes competitions.
President of the Botofago Football Club, Colin Moore has disclosed that the club has been resuscitated over the past sixteen months after being inactive for about seven years. He added that Botofago Football Club had been the pride of its host community, Silvertown and its environs for decades, producing national players such as Nigel ‘Mice’ Cummings and Ivan Persaud, recently elected Vice President of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
Moore said the club with assistance from former players has purchased twenty pairs of soccer boots for its current players, who are mainly under the age of nineteen. He said the boots are expected to arrive in time for Town Week, while the fundraising venture is intended to obtain seed financing for a proposed tour of Trinidad. (Jeff Trotman)
