Teams commence battle for Mayor’s Cup semifinal spots
Banks DIH on board with first prize
Teams remaining in the 2015 edition of the Mayor’s Cup football tournament will commence battles in the quarterfinals stage of the event tomorrow with spots in the semifinals on offer. This comes even as Beverage Giants, Banks DIH Limited has agreed with the organizers to furnish the one million dollars first prize.
All eyes will be focused on the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground, Bourda from tomorrow evening when Pele come up against Police at 7:00pm in what promises to be an exciting contest between two very good teams. Pele with the likes of Shemroy Arthur leading their challenge along with Joshua Kamal, O’Kennie Fraser, Devon Charles and Konata Manning will be intent on turning back the challenge of the lawmen and advance to the money round of the tournament.
Police will not be outdone and have had a very good tournament so far and will be looking to also advance further. They will be led by Rondell Arthur, Darius Franks, Rawle Hayles, Rawle Thornhill and James Bowman.
The nightcap at 9:00pm will pit favourites Slingerz against Riddim Squad in what should be an explosive contest. While Slingerz of the West Side maybe highly favoured, this tournament has produced a string of upsets and they should be very mindful. Tichard Joseph, Les Charles Critchlow, Joshua Brown, Devon Millington, Dwayne Jacobs and Anthony Abrams will definitely have to be sharp to halt the challenge of Riddim Squad.
The Agricola based line up will depend on Sceyon Hope, Amos Ramsay, Lylton Ramsay, Ron Liverpool and Sheldon Hope to upset Slingerz.
Meanwhile, other sponsors have joined Banks DIH to assist the success of the tournament. Among them are: MACORP, Busta, Sterling Products, John Fernandes, GT&T, TCL, CIDI and the Vieira brothers of Houston.
The remaining quarterfinals will be contested on Sunday at the same venue.
