The Mayor’s Cup Organizing Committee and the family of the late Sydroy Nedd, led by Nedd’s younger brother Senior Superintendent of Police Nigel Hoppie, staged an Inter Ward/Village 7-a-side knockout football tournament in West Demerara to coincide with what would have been Nedd’s 60th birth anniversary.
The two-day tournament began on Sunday at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground and concludes on Thursday, a National holiday when Muslims celebrate Eid-Ul-Azah.
Teams will battle for a first prize of $100,000, second $50,000, third $30,000 and fourth $20,000 and the quarter finals begin Thursday’s action with four matches starting from 16:00hrs.
Crane and Grove will lock horns in the first match before Pouderoyen face-off with Sara Lodge, Uitvlugt battle Goed Fortuin and host Den Amstel oppose Stewartville. The Semi-Finals will see the winner of the first match coming up against the winner of match three and the winner of match two playing the match-four winner for a place in the final which will be contested under lights. The losers of the Semi-finals will meet in a third place playoff just before the grand final.
