He was a former President of the West Demerara Football Association as well as the Uitvlugt Football Club and footballer. He was also Manager of the Guyana Football Federation and Assistant coordinator of the Mayor’s Cup Organizing Committee before he passed away in September 2011. Now the colleagues and friends of Sydroy Nedd, aka Neddie, join with the Mayor’s Cup Organizing Committee and his family, led by Nedd’s younger brother Superintendent Nigel Hoppie, to pay homage to his unwavering contribution to the sport, both domestically and internationally with a specially organized Inter Ward/Village 7-a-aside knockout football tournament next Sunday to coincide with what should have been Nedd’s 60th birth anniversary.
The tournament will be played at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground and commences at 14:00hrs with eight matches. In the first encounter, Tuschen will battle with Grove just before Sara Lodge take on Agricola. Goed Fortuin will then oppose Mocha moments before Stewartville throw down the gauntlet on Sophia. In other matches, Crane will oppose Wales, Pouderoyen tackle Dekindren, Uitvulgt play Bagotville while Den Amstel and Kuru Kururu will bring the curtains down on that day’s activities.
The tournament will conclude on Thursday September 24 at the same venue with the respective winners being matched against each other with the two top teams battling for the championship trophy.
There is no monetary requirement for entry into the tournament but teams are asked to be at the venue at least one hour before the prescribed starting time. The tournament will be conducted under the auspices of the GFF and by extension FIFA and all relevant rules will apply.
The teams will be battling for a first prize of $100,000, second $50,000, third $30,000 and fourth $20,000.
