The Mackeson ‘Keep Your Five Alive’ Football tournament will continue tonight at Punt Trench and School Street, Albouystown with eight games, and eight teams qualifying for the next round of the knockout competition following Wednesday night’s opening.
The street football competition that is being played under the theme “Your skill, your style, your five, your stout” will be played at several venues in Georgetown with the top team taking home a whopping $300,000 and the runner-up $150,000 in cash prizes. Trophies will also accompany all the cash prizes. Eight teams have already gone through to the next round.
Games tonight will feature Middle East against Rasville ‘A’; Bent Street will play Carifesta, the Island All-Stars comes up against Rasta’s, Alexander Village versus Charlotte Street; North East against Middle Road; Charlestown will take on Team L.A (East); Leopold Street challenges River View and Albouystown ‘B’ will take on Kingstown in the final game.
Each game will last for 15 minutes; 7½ minutes per half with no extra time allowed in the preliminary rounds if the game is drawn after regulation time; a penalty shootout will decide the team that moves forward to the next round.
However, extra time will be allowed in the final game; six minutes and three minutes for each of the teams. Teams, and players, were reminded that there will be a zero-tolerance attitude towards issues of indiscipline as the tournament is aimed at development.
