Leading Westside footballers on show for Sydroy Nedd 7-a-aside tourney
A number of the leading players on the Westside will be in action from Sunday when the Mayor’s Cup Organizing Committee and the family of the late Sydroy Nedd, led by Nedd’s younger brother Superintendent of Police Nigel Hoppie, stage an Inter Ward/Village 7-a-aside knockout football tournament to coincide with what should have been Nedd’s 60th birth anniversary.
The tournament is fixed for the Den Amstel Community Centre ground with action starting at 14:00hrs with eight matches. 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 action, 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.
The teams will battle for a first prize of $100,000, second $50,000, third $30,000 and fourth $20,000.
Among the leading Westside players expected to turn out for their respective teams are; Marvin Josiah, Detroy Adams, Deon Terrence and Nathan Allicock for Pouderoyen. Den Amstel will depend on Delon Lanferman, Jeffrey Perriera, Kester Dundas and Dwayne Wilson. Uitvlugt will have national player Trayon Bobb, Charles Stoby, Jamaal Petty and Marlon Brandis.
Goed Fortuin have the Harding boys, Anthony and Ashley, leading their charge, while Grove have another sibling duo to head their challenge in Clive and Lloyd Matthews.
Mocha have the Stewart brothers, Clive and Orville carrying their attack, while Kuru Kururu will feature Cordel Johnson, Deon DeHaart and Dellon Roberts and Bagotville will be led by Dellon Wayne and Kerywn Wrights.
Nedd 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.
No entry fee is required 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.
