The Mackeson ‘Keep Your Five Alive’ Football tournament will continue tonight at California Square, East Ruimveldt with six games, and six teams qualifying for the next round of a twelve-team knockout following the preliminary competition.
The small goal football competition that is being played under the theme “Your skill, your style, your five, your stout” have moved to several venues in Georgetown and will result in the top unit taking home $300,000 and the runner-up $150,000 in cash prizes.
Trophies are to also accompany all the cash prizes. Six teams have already gone through to the next round. Another six will join them after tonight’s proceedings and following another night of competition six teams will be left to battle for the cash prizes.
Games tonight will feature Leopold Street ‘B’ against Festival City; Broad Street ‘B’ will take on Vryheid’s Lust Champs; Back Circle battle Berlin; West Front Road play Castillo; Sparta Boss tackle Turkeyen and Albouystown ‘B’ come up against Rasville ‘A’.
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.
