Eight teams battle for top spot as 3rd annual foxy ladies women’s tournament commences

Aug 28, 2015 Sports

The Lady Jags have only just qualified in the final four of the Caribbean Football Union leg of the 2016 Olympics Qualifiers and women’s football seems to be on the rise. The spirit of the game has been extended to the local scene and the Foxy Ladies Female Football Club (FLFFC) is gearing up for the 2015 edition of its Annual Women’s Football Tournament that gets underway this afternoon and concludes on Sunday September 13.
All matches will be played at two venues, the Tucville Ground and the Guyana Defense Force Ground.
Eight teams will comprise Groups A and B and will be battling for honours in a round-robin format over the next few weeks before qualifying into the knock out rounds.
Those teams include Foxy Ladies, GDF, Little Diva Flames and New Amsterdam Warriors (Group A) and Eagles United, West Side Conquerors, Demerara Queens and Kuru Kuru (Group B).
The organizers said that despite their most ardent efforts they were unable to entertain teams from out of Lethem and Bartica. Nevertheless, they have committed to the development of those teams and will be making a contribution to aid in their development. The organizers also extended the hope that those teams will be included in the tournament next year.
When the action gets underway this afternoon the GDF will be at home to Foxy Ladies at 14:00hrs while at 16:00hrs the Little Divas take on New Amsterdam Warriors.
At 18:00hrs, Kuru Kuru will take on West Side Conquerors while the action picks up at 20:00hrs when Eagles United clash with Demerara Queens.
Four other matches are scheduled for August 30 and thereafter Kaieteur Sport will stay abreast of the other playing days.
Meanwhile, a release from the organizers states that the tournament is geared at creating opportunities for local female footballers while providing an opportunity for them to showcase their ability.
Further, the players will be able to improve their rankings while taking advantage of the opportunity to be seeded into the National Women’s Team (Lady Jags) in the future.
The organizers also said that the FLFFC will collaborate with the GFF to promote similar tournaments.
They also said that whereas in previous years the programme only facilitated school teams, they have decided to expand and incorporate teams from across the ten regions, a ploy that has been well received by other stakeholders.
