Turbo knockout tournament Finalist to be decided tonight

Dec 05, 2018 Sports

Following it’s postponement last week due to unfavourable weather for football, the semifinals of the Turbo Knockout football competition will kick off tonight at the Ministry of Education (MoE) ground on Carifesta Avenue.
The night will start off with Mahaica Determinators taking on GFC with a spot in the final on offer. The Georgetown based side will have to ensure two things are done if they are to secure victory. They must accumulate an early lead over their East Coast counterparts if they are to set the plan in motion and they must be able to defend well late on in the game.
Mahaica have shown their dominance in their tournament well after the 75th minute with a number of their goals coming there. Notoriously shaky on the start, the Determinators need to get ahead as early as possible.
Meanwhile, game two is an all Georgetown affair as Northern Rangers play Santos. The Rangers have been increasing their team play gradually and this semi will definitely be a test of that.
Their ability to play patient football could be a major asset here when they come up against Santos. Meanwhile, the pace of Santos is not something that should not be underestimated. Their ability to play on the break and make opponents pay for the slightest mistake could mean a quick game changer.
However it goes, after tonight, the finalists will be decided; weather permitting.
The tournament will see a total of $1.5 million in cash prizes up for grabs with the winners walking away with $800,000, the runners up will pocket $400,000, third $200,000 and fourth $100,000.
