Teams pumped and ready to rumble in Hamilton Green 9-a-side KO Cup
The month of December for over two decades has been littered with heightened football activity and this year’s Hamilton Green 9-a-side Inter-Ward/ Village KO Cup has not escaped this attention.
When play in the competition resumes tomorrow, at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground, it will add to the excitement that football fans have become accustomed to in the final month of the year.

In the opening fixture from 17:00hrs, Wales, who will have in their line-up the likes of Quincy Ashley, Rolando Thomas, Alexander Clark and Sharmea Jones will lock horns with the star-studded Charlestown lineup.
Charlestown quest for a win will rest of the performances of Jamal Cozier, Devon Charles, Kareem Knights and Curtez Kellman.
In the game to follow, Sophia tackle Sara Lodge and the Smith combination that includes Ernie, Peter and Simon along with Jason Clarke will lead the former charge for victory, while Jalen Williams, Stephon Griffith, Seam Miller and Denzil Smith will aim to do the same for Sara Lodge.
Goed Fortuin then go up against Central McKenzie and this promises to provide plenty action for the fans.
Central McKenzie’s ambition to advance will rely on the performances of players such as Seon Barrett, Marvin Sullivan, Orlanzo Thurman and Emanuel Atkins, while Anthony Harding, Ashley Harding, Terrence Morgan and Glenroy Semple will be the spearhead of Goed Fortuin’s challenge for a place in the final.
Newtown Kitty then take to the field to oppose Soesdyke and this encounter too could supply the kind of action that is normal at this stage of a competition as teams battle for the final spots.
Anthony Sancho, Pernel Schultz, Steffon Reynolds and Simeon Moore are the marquee players for Newtown, while Seosdyke will be led by Roger Dey, Delon Smith, Tyrone Khan and Dwayne Barker.
Pouderoyen and Mahaicony then go toe to toe for a place on final day and this could be another humdinger.
Kayode King, Keron Boyce, Dwayne St. Kitts and Steffon Jupiter are all capable of match winning performances and definitely Pouderoyen will be hoping for them to setup a win, while Mahaicony will no doubt be relying on the likes of Ruel Chester, Kenroy D’Aguiar, Jason Wronge and Mark Roberts to enhance their chance to advance.
Uitvlugt then entertain Timehri and the West Side challenge will be led by national player Trayon Bobb along with Seon Bobb, Keon Duke and Daniel Floy, while the visitors desire to create an upset will depend on the services of Owen Denny, Prince Forde, Kevin Sobers and Monty Walcott.
The final game of the night between hosts Den Amstel and Crane must see the former start as strong favourites to progress, especially playing on hometurf and the likes of national player Delon Lanferman, Leo Lovell, Rayan Hunte, Kester Dundas and Jeffrey Perreira in the squad.
Crane hope of silencing the anticipated rabid support will depend heavily on Kwesi Henry, Jamal Mounter, Taylor Wharton and Oswin Boyce.
Mahaica drew a bye.
The winning and runner-up teams will receive $400,000 and $200,000 respectively along with trophies, while Highest Goalscorer and Most Valuable Player will collect gifts compliments of China Trading and A.H. & L Kissoon.
They will also receive trophies donated by Javon Dazzell.
