Kaieteur News -The second day of the 2022 KFC Goodwill Tournament unfolds today, December 17, at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) National Training Centre in Providence, with what is expected to be an intriguing double header.

Golden Grove will have an opportunity to redeem themselves following the 6 – 0 defeat they suffered at the hands of Desrey Fox Secondary School (DFSS) on Thursday at the same venue. DFSS controls Group A with three points from that victory while SBC and Golden Grove share the task of getting on the board.

The match that follows is a Group B encounter that sees joint leader, CWSS – currently on one point, and SBC, who now being their campaign.
