Stag Super XV1 Football Tournament …Cougars face Soesdyke Falcons, Monedderlust oppose Golden Stars @#5 Gr.
Rivalry in the Stag Super XV1 knock-out Football Tournament featuring teams from Berbice, East Coast and East 
Bank will kick off this evening at the #5 ground West Coast Berbice where the official march past and opening will also take place.
Following feature remarks by Ansa McAl’s Public Relations Officer Ms. Darshanie Yussuf, attention will switch to the pitch for the real talk to begin. First up will be a Berbice/East Bank match-up featuring Soesdyke Falcons of the latter association against home team Cougars, from 18:00hrs.
With the fact that the teams are not familiar with each other, it is anticipated that they will use the opening minutes to size out each other before making any moves in the attacking third. Cougars, no doubt will have the home advantage on their side but the Soesdyke boys, fresh off a third place finish in the East Bank FA Senior League will be seeking to hold their own in virtually foreign territory.
Soesdyke will look to Kelcey Benson, Walter Benson, Dwayne Barker, Devon Winter, Javier Greene, Ulatto Smith and Roger Dey to spearhead their quest for victory knowing that there is no room for losers.
Cougars though would have reached the semi finals of a knock-out tournament that was played between Berbice and East Coast teams and would fancy their chances of turning back the challenge of their opponents.
Leading their charge will be Reon Emanuel, Carlton Brutus, Travis Thomas, Herman Denny, Roger Crandon, Ron Wilson, Sherwin Halley, Albert Anderson, Kevin Dey and Jarrel Rajgopaul.
The feature game will see a renewing of rivalry between Berbice and East Coast, Victoria Kings of the latter association won the recent knock-out tournament by toppling Monedderlust and the Berbice teams would be seeking to change that scenario which makes this clash a mouth watering affair.
Monedderlust at one time were a feared unit in the knock-out format of the game, they faded away somewhat but will be hoping to regain that billing and will use this tournament as a stepping stone.
While Golden Stars placed sixth in the just concluded East Demerara Stag Beer League, they, like the other teams will fancy their chances of staking a claim for the top prize of 1.5 million dollars.
Tasked with the responsibility of guiding their efforts in a positive direction would be Phillip Liverpool, Randy King, Randy Stoby, Justin Bristol, Alex Mahaica, Owen Adonis Jr., Malcolm Walcott, Shawn Douglas, Akemo Smith, Kellon Semple, Asafo Prince and Cordel Mars among others.
The home team’s charge will centre around Travis Henry, Kevin Layne Jr., Delbert Wilson, Leroy Halley, Clifford Campbell, Royston Khalil, Lester Cummings, Seon Watts, Kenson Lindley, Elvis Rutherford, Zebulon Watts, Marlon Harley and Atlyn Brown.
