Eight exciting matches will highlight the penultimate day of action with home team Den Amstel set to headline the proceedings when they clash with Soesdyke in the final game of the night.
Co-ordinator Lennox Arthur, commenting on the tournament to date said it has gone well and he expects another night of lively action as teams attempt to position themselves to be in the fray for the finals set for Sunday, December 2, at the same venue.
“Fans are certain to get their monies worth judging from the quality of teams left in the competition and predicting who will survive tomorrow night’s round is causing headaches among the pundits,” Arthur related.
In the opening encounter, at 18:00hrs, Zeelugt tackle Charlestown and many feel that this game is the perfect start for the night’s proceedings.
This clash will be followed by the game between Sophia and Central McKenzie, before Mahaica and Mahaicony square off for a place in the next round, but also bragging rights.
