With representation of teams expected from Georgetown, Linden, Berbice, West and East Demerara, the sixth edition of the GT Beer ‘Keep Your Five Alive’ Indoor Competition is anticipated to provide riveting action from this Saturday when the tournament kicks off, at the National Gymnasium.
Organiser Kevin Adonis in an invited comment said this year’s edition is expected to surpass last year’s in terms of excitement and fan support and urged teams to bring out their supporters to ensure that their hopes of ‘keeping their five alive’ is increased by the turnout of fans.
“The concept is one that allows a team only one opportunity to play for the prizes and because of this all the teams will come well prepared to play at a high level and so the fans are the real winners,” Adonis said.
He added that thirty-two of the best teams in the country have been assembled including defending champions West Front Road ‘Gold is Money’ and beaten finalist Future Stars.
Among the other teams making the shortlist are: Sparta Boss, Bent Street, Leopold Street and most of the zone champions of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition.
