GFF President Wayne Forde last weekend presented cheques to the amount of two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($225,000) to first, second and third-placed winners respectively of the recently concluded Guyana Football Federation–Bartica Football Association (BFA) Independence Cup Football Tournament.
In a tournament which was conducted from May 13 to June 27, Mil Ballers United were crowned champions, while Lazio FC came in second in the finals, which was played at the Bartica Secondary School Ground. Rivers View FC finished third.
This presentation was made to Shaquille Hopkins of Mil Ballers FC, Sherwin Da Silva of Lazio
FC and Mark Ambrose on behalf of Rivers View FC during a visit to Bartica on the weekend of
June 30. The winning team pocketed one hundred thousand dollars, second-place team received seventy-five thousand dollars and fifty thousand dollars was given to the third-placed team.
In brief remarks to the recipients, Forde said he was pleased with the efforts made by the BFA to rebuild football in Bartica: “I am very happy with the efforts being made by Bartica to reignite the passion for the game and equally encouraged by the support of the fans. This is one simple step in rebuilding Bartica’s reputation for producing excellent National footballers.”
The tournament was sponsored by the GFF, organized by the Bartica Football Association (BFA) and saw eight teams competing in two groups on a round-robin knockout format. Group A consisted of Beacons, Mil Ballers, Wolves United and Strikers while Group B was made up of Lazio, Potaro Strikers, Rising Stars and Rivers View.
