Coordinator Lennox Arthur congratulated all the teams, especially those advancing to the quarterfinals. While some teams had an ‘easy road’, others had to battle. This he explained was due to the fact that some played three games, while the others played two and this was on account of their respective grouping. The tournament started with a total 48 teams and its now down to the lot battling on Sunday and those advancing to the quarters.
Arthur noted that teams like Friendship Front, Bourda All Stars and Tucville played three to go forward, while Sparta played two and Diamond got a bye.
