Slingerz FC Stag West Side Champions Cup shifted to February 21
The unavailability of the Uitvlugt Community Centre Ground, has forced organizers of the Slingerz Football Club, Stag Beer sponsored ‘West Side’ Mashramani Champions Cup to now shift the start of the tournament to Friday February 21. 
Initially, the event was set to kick off tonight, but ongoing rehabilitation at Uitvlugt ground, coupled with the hosting of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Premier League being hosted at the Den Amstel Community Centre Ground, had a the final say.
Seven other clubs will be looking to wrestle the title away from Slingerz FC, who had defeated Den Amstel 3–0 to win last year’s competition. Just like 2013, the winner will pocket $500,000, second $300,000, third $200,000 and fourth place $100,000.
“The only thing that has changed is the dates,” said the Club’s General Manager Collin ‘BL’ Aaron, while further noting, “So now we would play the 21st at Den Amstel, while February 24th, March 1st, and the grand finals March 8th will be played at Uitvlugt. I know that persons have been looking forward to the start of the tournament on Sunday, but I’m sure they understand that the change is something we had nothing over.”
The tournament is being held as the club’s one year anniversary celebration and according to Aaron, “Slingerz will be doing some give-a-ways during the tournament, just to show our appreciation to the people on the West Side who have been supporting us from day one and for those who only recently came on board.”
