Nov 05, 2019 Sports

This year’s 9-a-side Inter-Ward Football Competition to commemorate the 85th Birth Anniversary of former Prime Minister and City Mayor

– Lennox Arthur

Hamilton Green will kick off on Sunday with eight matches at the Den Amstel Community Centre ground, West Coast Demerara, venue for the tournament.
The annual event will feature teams from East Coast Demerara, East Bank Demerara, Georgetown and West Berbice battling those from the host community for some $400,000 in prize money.
Co-ordinator of the tournament, former national football coach, Lennox Arthur indicated that he is looking for sponsors to come on board with this year’s event because their support is the key to a successfully held tournament. Arthur is hoping for many long time and new sponsors to lend support to keep this traditional tournament, which many of the clubs, ward and village teams and also many top flight players over the years, have participated and displayed their talent.
He expressed delight at the support he received over the years, but noted that things have been ‘a bit slow so far’ with the start date approaching. However, he is hopeful that the sterling support of the many companies over the years will continue.
The opening salvo of games is as follows:
Starting from 4:00pm: Bourda Blues versus Durban Backlands, Charlestown vs. Stanleytown, Gaza vs. Casa Coima FC, Timehri vs. Bagotville, Agricola vs. Wales, Goed Fortuin vs. Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke vs. Plaisance and Den Amstel Kings vs. De Kinderen.
More matches will be played on November 17 and 24, with the quarters, semis, third place and final being played on Sunday, December 1.
The winning team will take home $200,000 and a trophy, while second, third and fourth place finishers will receive $100,000, $60,000 and $40,000 respectively.
