of $700,000 will be played tomorrow at the Victoria Ground on the East Coast of Demerara.
Action commences from 6:30pm with Police coming up against Federal Winners Connection of Linden in the curtain raiser, while in the nightcap at 8:30pm, Ann’s Grove battle Western Tigers. Two entertaining matches are promised.
The Linden fans and teams have been demanding that games in this tournament be played in Linden after they would have observed matches being played at several venues but none in Linden. Well organizer Lennox Arthur has indicated that if the Linden team involved in tomorrow’s semifinal clash advances to the final, they will take the final to the Mining Town. This has made the Linden side indicate they will be going all out for a win and come with all guns firing, so the Police had better watch out. Young star of the Digicel School’s football tournament Marmaleque Davidson, Keon Sears and Rawle Gittens will spearhead their challenge.
Several players will get the chance of going after the leading goal scorer prize, among them are
Dwayne McClennon with 5, his Western Tigers teammates Randolph Wagner (3) and Dellon Kelly (2),
