On Wednesday night, Figgy Green Jags, Good Fellas, Germans and Quiet storm each topped their respective groups and secured their places in the quarterfinals of the Mohamed’s Enterprise/ExxonMobil 5th Annual Futsal tournament, following final round group stage matches at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) Hard Court in Linden.
Figgy Green Jags are being dubbed as one of the favourites to clinch the championship and the $600,000 first place prize by the fans in the ‘Bauxite Mining Town’ and rightfully so after edging out one of the stronger teams of the tournament, Silver Bullets, 2-1 on Wednesday, to top Group A with a perfect record.
Donovan Francis was on song for the Jags as he netted both their goals while Damion Williams was the Bullets lone goal scorer. Runic Velloza smashed in four goals while his teammate Joel Isaacs netted a brace as Good Fellas held their nerve to get past West Side Ballers 6-5.
Marvin Josiah scored a hat-trick for the West Demerara based team while Stephon Jupiter and Lennox Cort added one goal each for the men from region four.
Silver Bullets, playing their second match of the night went down 4-1 to Amelia Ward’s Russians. The Bullets played well throughout the match but failed to finish their chances while the Russians didn’t hesitate to put them to the sword.
Travis Waterton buried a hat-trick while Ruel Williams added one goal for the winners and Jamine Samuel scored the solitary goal for the losers. For Group C winners, Germans, Andre Mayers banged in a late hat-trick in their 7-2 final group game win over Achievers to secure their quarterfinal berth.
In other results, DC Ballers defeated Young Kings 5-3 while Hardball negotiated their way past Presidential Family 7-4 and Quiet Storm plundered a depleted Swag FC 8-4 to top their group.
The knockout stages begins tonight with quarterfinal action from 19:00hrs featuring Progressive Ballers versus Germans in the first match followed by Quiet Storm vs. Dc Ballers in game two while Goodfellas will match skills with Russians in the third quarterfinal before the feature match between the crowd favourites, Figgy Green Jaguars and Haynes Hitters.
The sponsors of the tournament include Mohammed’s Enterprise, ExxonMobil, Bakewell, Cell Smart, PPDI, Sankar’s Auto Works and Bumper to Bumper Services. The final of the tournament is set for August 18th and the runners-up will receive a handsome $250,000, third $100,000 and fourth place $50,000 in the GFF sanctioned competition. (Calvin Chapman)
