GT Beer / Petra Organisation Futsal Competition… Agricola out to prove that recent performance is no fluke

– Sparta will have to establish that they are the real kings

Fresh off their dream win in the Second Ground Entertainment ‘Ballers in the Summer’ Knockout Competition on the West Side, upstart Agricola will aim to show fans and foes that their win was no fluke when they open up against Kitty Weavers in the inaugural GT Beer / Petra Organisation Futsal Competition tomorrow night, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
The East Bank Demerara-based champs is the new the talk of the town after registering wins against established teams such as Sparta Boss, North Ruimveldt, Queen Street of Tiger Bay and West Front Road ‘Gold is Money’ in what must be considered to be their best performance to date.
The team’s livewire Kacy John is once again expected to play an integral role in their quest for victory, but so too are penalty specialist Glen Eastman and Gordon Grant.
Kitty Weavers is a very strong team and should provide a stern test for Agricola. They are expected to have in their line-up players the calibre of Sherwin Vincent, Wendell St. Hill, Quincy Madramootoo and Terrence ‘Ole Head’ Lewis.
In the first encounter, Albouystown square off against Globe Yard and this should provide an exciting start to the tournament with Marlon Nedd and Roy Cassou anticipated to lead the charge for a win for Albouystown, while the experienced Sherwin Grimes is the main threat for Globe Yard.
The third game will see North Ruimveldt take on West Back Road and even though some may be tempted to believe it is a safe bet to place a wager of the former, the latter should not be taken lightly.
Gerald Gritten is the old master and his performance usually has a telling effect on opposing teams, while Joshua Brown is another player of high quality.
West Back Road did have had some upset victories in the past against strong teams and it is this record that gives them an outside chance of springing another upset.
Jamal Haynes and Philip Rowley are the main threat for West Back Road.
The curtains come down with the clash between Sparta Boss and Alexander Village.
The defending national champs had their reputation dented by Agricola, but with such a star-studded lineup that includes Travis Grant, Gregory Richardson and Sheldon Shepherd it is difficult to right them off.
Shem Porter, Jermin Junor, Chavez Hescott and Leon Yaw are perhaps the most experienced unit in the competition, having excelled in this format for a number of years and could be classified as a dangerous side.
Kick off time is 19:00 hrs.
