In the game to follow, Uitvlugt take on Timehri and the West Demerara unit will be looking for solid performances from national player Trayon Bobb, Seon Bobb, Keon Duke, Daniel Floy, Lerone Jacobs and Shonol Smith.
On the other hand, Timehri’s ambition to move on relies on how well Kevin Sobers, Owen Denny, Tyrone David, Travis Thornhill, Prince Ford and Samuel Steele perform.
In the other game, hosts Den Amstel is clear favourites to proceed, especially with the likes of national player Delon Lanferman, Leo Lovell, Kester Dundas, Ryan Hunte, Jeffrey Perreira and Junior Gordon in their line-up, while Bagotsville aim to register an upset could only be possible through good performances from Ivan Metland, Tevon Anderson, Shokel Brisport, Orlando Junior, Keyon July and Stanford Souvenir.

Meanwhile, Tiwari’s two grandsons Bradley and Kane Gabriel have agreed to put up $50,000 winner-take-all prize for the winner of an exhibition tournament that will be played on the final night between Mahaicony, Zeelugt, Plaisance and Timehri.
