At 5:00pm, Riddim Squad with the talented Amos Ramsey and Steffon Hope leading their charge, will look to put down Beavers of the Westside in an anticipated feisty contest. Santos then look to ‘boot’ Pouderoyen out of the competition in their contest starting at 7:00pm. But the Westside team have their own plans to send the City dwellers packing. An exciting match-up is anticipated.
The night cap at 9:00pm should also produce another crowd pleaser when Western Tigers with the skillful Randolph Wagner heading their outfit challenge Den Amstel. Both sides are expected to come ‘tooth and nail’ in what should be a keenly competitive encounter as they look to outdo the other and secure a quarterfinal spot.
Quarterfinals are scheduled for August 19 at the same venue and the winners of the respective games will advance to contest for semifinal places. The semis are set of August 21 and final and third place August 28.
