Two weeks remain before the kickoff of the second annual KFC Goodwill tournament and the competition has seen another addition to the list of sponsors, as Mike’s Pharmacy under their Vitabiotics brand joined the list of sponsors, yesterday. The brand includes popular supplements such as Feroglobin and Wellman.

Speaking at the simple handover ceremony which was hosted at the Ministry of Education (MOE) ground, Carifesta Avenue, Vitabiotics Marketing Manager Michael Jessimy highlighted the company’s commitment to sports, outside of football and pledged that the brand will remain dedicated to sport development.
The Goodwill tournament will commence on the 14th of December with two games on each playing day. Shiva boys’ Hindu College out of Trinidad & Tobago, USL Montjoly of French Guiana, Annai Secondary, Waramadong, Lodge and Annandale Secondary of Guyana will compete over the 16th, 18th, and 20th of December, with the final slated for December 22. The Vitabiotics brand will be distributing their products to the schools competing in the tournament.
During the proceeding, Co-Director of the Petra Organization, Troy Medonca expressed his immense gratitude to the company, noting that their contribution will go a long way to making athletes more cognisant of the importance of their health.
“We just want to thank Mike’s Pharmacy through Vitabiotics and the Wellman and Feroglobin brands for joining hands with KFC and bringing this tournament. I can tell you that your contribution here will be massive, in terms of us exposing these youths and building a brand for future years to come,” Mendonca expressed.
Meanwhile, owing to the hindrance that heavy rains have affected the Guyoil/Tradewind Tankers league, the current top two teams Lodge and Annandale Secondary have been officially placed on the KFC schedule, despite that competition being incomplete.
While it is the hope that the league can be wrapped up before the beginning of the Goodwill tournament, the organisers have assured that the league will run its full course.
Also on board with the KFC Goodwill tournament is the Guyana Coema Construction and Services Inc, which will be transporting Annai Secondary from Region nine to Georgetown.
