The promotion which was launched yesterday at 704 Sports Bar will run for two months where two boxes will be placed at bars in the communities and customers will have to submit Stag crowns in the said boxes.
The Stag team will inspect the boxes every week and at the conclusion of the promotion the community with the highest entries will be crowned the winner. That community will choose what they want to be done to their ground to the tune of G$3M (Three Million Dollars).
The grounds selected are Christianburg Community of Linden, Campton Football ground in Campbelleville, Western Tigers ground in West Ruimveldt, # 5 (Monedderlust) of West Berbice, Esplanade Park New Amsterdam, Grove Playfield East Bank Demerara, Timehri Red ground of East Bank Demerara, Den Amstel West Demerara, Walton Hall Essequibo Coast, Bartica Community ground and Golden Grove East Coast Demerara.
Speaking at the launching Ansa McAl Public Relations Officer Ms. Dharshanie Yusuf said they are happy to be associated with such a promotion once again and informed that customers must be 18 years and older to participate. She added that they want to see development in the various societies.
President of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Wayne Forde stated that while everyone would like to see football being played at a high level, appropriate facilities are important and congratulated Ansa McAl on such a venture.
Forde pointed out that some facilities have deteriorated and Ansa McAl have demonstrated their willingness to help football once again adding that he would like to see these campaigns increase and the GFF will be happy to assist.
Linden won the promotion in 2011 and as a result Mackenzie Sports Club was resurfaced. (Zaheer Mohamed)
