Tonight should have seen the climax of the Stag Beer / West Side Mashramani Champions Cup with the final between Slingerz FC and Den Amstel but that will not be so as it has been postponed to Saturday March 15, according to the organisers.
The venue remains the same – Uitvlugt Community Centre Ground with the organisers confident that the new date will allow for even more exciting play.

Hosted by the Slingerz Football Club, the tournament is being played to commemorate the club’s first anniversary and during its brief existence to date, they have already been crowned champions of the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA).
This highly anticipated final will be a rematch of last year’s finals which was easily won 3 – 0 by Slingerz and it also was the first of their three tournament wins which includes the Banks Beer Cup and WDFA League.
Just like the previous year, $500,000 is set to be awarded to the winner, second place $250,000, third place $150,000 and fourth place $100,000.
Meanwhile, Fagus General Store and R&K Service Station, both located at Parika have made contributions towards the tournament joining Double Day Hotel, Star Party Rentals, Nicola’s Bar, Two Brothers Service Station and Ansa McAl as the other corporate entities to have supported.
