The battle lines will be drawn tomorrow night at the National
Gymnasium when the final of the GT Beer Keep Your 5 Alive KO Futsal Tournament is contested between two sides whom the pundits would not have predicted would meet this far at the commencement of the 32-team competition.
Nonetheless, the dust has settled following some riveting nights of combat and its now down to the only two unbeaten teams but one will walk away wounded tomorrow night while the other will be celebrating well into the night and morning having pocketed the top prize of $500,000.
Left standing are Future Stars and as the name suggests, it’s a band of future Guyana stars who have combined their skills and football intellect to advance this far downing some of the best in this format of the game including the famed, Sparta Boss.
They will engage West Front Road-Gold is Money, a unit that is led by the tournament’s leading goal scorer Hubert Pedro and his band of experienced gladiators.
On their way to the final, West Front Road-Gold is Money defeated Buxton 2-0, trounced Newton Kitty 9-2, squeezed past Tucville 3-2 and in an equally riveting contest, got past Back Circle 6-5. They will be aiming to seal a perfect competition with victory tomorrow night and will be banking on eth leading goal scorer, Hubert Pedro who has blasted 12 goals to date.
Pedro will have support in offense and defense from Carl Tudor, Randolph Wagner, Phillip Rowley, Nathaniel Nagaloo, Omar Jones and Jamal Pedro among others.
The never say die Future Stars in their journey to this stage would have hammered Melanie 9-2, defeated Sophia 7-5, their first two casualties. What is very commendable and impressive about this young team is the fact that they didn’t just qualify, but they have done so by toppling two of the best sides in this format of the sport.
First up they sent reigning Guinness Greatest of the Streets champion, Dave and Celina All Stars of Linden packing compliments of a 7-4 beating and they topped that off with a classical display of smart and tactical football when they upstaged the bosses of this format, Sparta Boss in their semi final on Saturday last, 7-6 in an epic dual.
Being called into action for the last time in the tournament and expected to give it their all in marshalling their peers are successful Digicel Schools Football Championship Captain Jeremy Garrett, Curtez Kellman, Akeemo Anthony, Keiron Solomon, Marvin Carter, Jamal Scott, Devon Charles, Dexter Marshall, Jamal Cozier and Kevin Cummings.
It will be experience, determination, tactical assertiveness, tenacity and the likes all on display tomorrow night between two very good sides which has very good fan support.
