Hamilton Green 9-a-side Inter-Ward/ Village KO Cup Teams report preparations going well for tomorrow’s showdown -Den Amstel CC venue for final
Following weeks of exciting clashes, this year’s Hamilton Green 9-a-side Inter-Ward/ Village KO Cup is expected to conclude with riveting action when the final is played tomorrow, at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground.
In the fixtures: Sophia is set to take on Newtown Kitty in what is anticipated to be a scorching affair to set the tone for the rest of the evening.
Sophia will be led by the Smith combination that includes Ernie, Peter and Simon along with Jason Clarke, while Newtown Kitty’s charge for victory will be spearheaded by Pernell Schultz, Anthony Sancho, Steffon Reynolds and Simeon Moore.
Central McKenzie then goes up against Mahaica and this encounter should see the former start as firm favourites to advance.
They will be hoping for solid performances from players such as Seon Barrett, Marvin Sullivan, Orlanzo Thurman and Emanuel Atkins, while Mahaica’s chances of progressing will depend heavily of the likes of Michael Amsterdam, Kurt Roberts, Quincy Holder, Ewart Abel and Troy Morris.
Charlestown then square off against Mahaicony and it would be almost suicidal to bet against the Georgetown juggernauts who will be led by tournament top goalscorer Jamal Cozier and also includes Devon Charles, Kareem Knights and Curtez Kellman.
Mahaicony will have in their lineup players the caliber of Ruel Chester, Kenroy D’Aguiar, Jason Wronge and Mark Roberts and they will no doubt be aiming to register a huge upset against the opposition’s star-studded team.
In the All West Demerara affair, Uitvlugt and Crane face each other for a place in the last four.
Uitvlugt’s most popular ball weaver Trayon Bobb will be excited to produce a sizzling performance for his side and his support will come from Seon Bobb, Keon Duke and Daniel Floy.
Crane’s quest to stun what is anticipated to be a large turnout will rest on the shoulders of Kwesi Henry, Jamal Mounter, Taylor Wharton and Oswin Boyce.
The Ministry of Citizenship has sponsored the first place of $400,000 and the winning trophy, while John Fernandes Ltd has done likewise for the losing finalist and it carries a prize of $200,000 and a trophy.
