Action in the preliminary rounds conclude tonight

May 31, 2014 Sports

Action in the preliminary rounds of this year’s fourth annual Mackeson ‘Keep Your Five Alive’ Futsal Tournament is set to conclude this evening, at the Albouystown Hardcourt, starting at 2000hrs.
Five matches are scheduled to be played with the winners moving on to the Round of 16 listed to be held at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) tarmac.
Tonight’s opening action will pit Alexander Village versus Vryheid’s Lust Champs and that will be followed by Upsetters of West Ruimveldt colliding with King Street Ballers.
The third game will be an East Coast versus Georgetown affair, when Melanie, who had a creditable showing in the East Coast Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ competition in which one of their teams took home the top prize and another place third, face Rasville, who will be coming to upstage their more illustrious opponents.
Charlestown and North East La Penitence will square off in the fourth fixture for the night, before Albouystown and Laing Avenue renew their rivalry in the final fixture.
Already, defending champions Sparta Boss, ‘Sophia, Albouystown ‘B’, Broad Street, La Parfaite Harmonie, Back Circle, Tiger Bay ‘A’, Leopold Street, Texas and West Front Road, have all booked their spots in the next round.
The tournament’s coordinator Kevin Adonis is charging all teams including defending champions Sparta Boss to keep fit, since the tournament will be played on a knockout basis, even as he warned the regular teams in Georgetown to expect some strong challenges from their out-of-town based opponents.
“This year, I have decided to include teams such as Victoria, Vryheid’s Lust, Plaisance, Beterverwagting, Melanie and La Parfaite Harmonie, just to name a few, in the lineup and as you are aware some of the East Coast-based teams are coming off the back of a similar tournament.
“This means they are coming fit and has already present a strong challenge to the other teams, so I am calling on the teams to be fit in order to ‘Keep Your Five Alive’,” said Adonis, who emphasised on winning in order for teams to continue playing as there will be no second opportunities.
Teams are asked to note carefully, that only those who have been registered on the registration form will be allowed to compete, with no alterations being allowed during the course of the tournament, only in the case of injury which must occur during the playing of the competition.
In addition to the tournament, there will be an Axe halftime show compliments of that product’s main distributor in Guyana, DeSinco Trading, which is being dubbed the ‘Take and Shoot’ competition, for which fabulous prizes will be up for grabs, along with the regular Mackeson giveaways.
Apart from Ansa McAl and DeSinco Trading, some other sponsors of the tournament which has three playing days remaining after tonight are; Colours Boutique, Clairan’s Boutique, Clear Water, Star Party Rentals, White Castle Fish Shop, and HJTV and its 94.1 Boom FM, just to name a few.
