alliance with the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation, which will see the return of Football at the venue after an hiatus of nearly 40 years, a release informed.
With the installation of floodlights last year, the DCC Ground, known for its rich history in cricket, was chosen to be one of the venues for this year’s Kashif and Shanghai Tournament.
Apart from the opening ceremony on March 20, the DCC ground will host matches on March 25, 27 and 28.
The likes of George Yarde, George Hyles, Clive ‘Wolly’ Forde, Orin Comberbatch and Colin Bevaney; all of whom were standout players for Guyana in the early 1970’s, are just some of the big names who thrilled the masses that would converge at the DCC Ground when football was played at the venue.
“We’re happy to team up with the DCC Management to help bring back football to the venue,” Co-Director Aubrey ‘Shanghai’ Major.
According to Major, “The DCC management is so far very accommodating. We have done work on the fence, raising it a little because before, you could’ve stand on the road and look directly into the venue, so now, we changed that. Both Kashif (Muhammad) and I believe that this is one of the better venues in Georgetown presently and we’re glad to bring back the game here (DCC).”
The 25th Kashif and Shanghai football tournament will run from March 20 to April 5.
