Organisers of the inaugural 592 Beer Inter-Village Football Competit
Action in today’s 592 Beer Inter-Village Football Tournament at the Buxton Community Centre ground promises to be very competitive.
ion have pulled out all the stops to make the event a memorable one for teams participating in the tournament.
In an effort to adequately compensate the teams for their steadfast support, the Organisers have decided to increase prize monies on offer for the respective winners, rightly providing them the enticement during the business end of the tournament.
Tonight the quarter-finals commence with an anticipated exciting doubleheader at the Buxton Community Centre ground.
In the opening encounter, the Clive Andries led Friendship will aim to defend home turf when they square off against Mahaica.
This clash will be followed by the other surviving team from the community with Buxton playing host to Paradise and this encounter promises to provide sizzling action for the expected large turnout of supporters from the area.
Andries, a former national youth cricketer and national footballer, is the leader of a side that is loaded with natural talent and many expect them to go all the way.
He will have as support the likes of Delon Wright and Okenie Fraser, two players that are having solid performances to date.
On the other hand, Mahaica will be led by the experienced Eion Abel, who has been a thorn in the flesh for opposing sides, while Azuma Roberts is his main henchman.
In the Buxton versus Paradise affair, this game is a definite headliner and too close to call.
Buxton will need all the home support to get past a determined Paradise unit led by the big central defender Quincy Adams.
He is a player that can be utilized in any position, but has preferred to do his thing in defence, marshalling the troops with his vast experience.
His main support will come from Tyreke Cummings and along with a few other players that are capable of turning a game on its head, they present a formidable opposition to the host.
Eon Costello is one of the key players for Buxton and he will be hoping for more support along with that of the entire community to get past the tough and resolute Paradise side.
With $500,000 along with an impressive trophy up for grabs, the foundation for the teams to entertain the loyal fans with a top brand of football has been laid.
The runner-up, third and fourth place teams will receive $200,000, $150,000 and $100,000 respectively along with trophies.
The competition resumes with more quarter-final action next Sunday, at the Golden Grove Community Centre ground.
The fixtures then are: BV versus Ann’s Grove, while Golden Grove play host to Brusch Dam.
