Two action-packed matches heralded the opening of the inaugural Chico Kashif and Shanghai schools football tournament at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground, Bourda, Sunday evening last and football fans can be assured of similar entertainment when activities continue this afternoon at the same venue.
North Georgetown Secondary will go head to head with Patentia Secondary in the opening encounter at 16:00hrs while Charlestown Secondary will oppose Lodge Secondary in the second game.
All school children will be permitted to view the games free of charge up until the semifinals and even then, the organisers are attempting to retain this arrangement for the final phase of the competition.
The teams will be easily recognized after Mishal’s For Kids & More of Ogle Airstrip Road ECD donated an equivalent number of name boards to the K&S Entertainment group. Participating schools will be drawn from Linden (4), West Bank Demerara (4), Georgetown (8), East Coast Demerara (4), East Bank Demerara (2), Mazaruni and Berbice (1 apiece).
