Can Botafago oust Milerock for $1M title tonight? – Winners and Capital FC play for third place
UDFA Banks DIH/ Jai Signs/ Ministry Of Culture, Youth And Sport Christmas Futsal final
Kaieteur Sports – Botafago will face the defending champions Milerock for $1M and the championship trophy from 10.00pm as the final of the Upper Demerara Football promoted Christmas futsal tournament ends tonight, in what should be a packed out Retrieve Hard Court in Linden.

Botafago will be up against a Milerock side which has grown in confidence after some initial rusty showing in the group stage of this championship, before rebounding to bring hope to their many supporters in the knockout out round, with the last a 8-3 thumping win over Haynes and Lewis’ Winners Connection.
That win was a morale booster which probably signaled a return to the form which brought them this title one year ago.
It appears that their chances of repeating will hinge largely on their veteran Colwyn Drakes, who led them to that dominant 9-3 semifinal performance over Winners Connection Capital, with a five goal haul.
With Drakes now showing the form and the durable Rawle ‘Boney’ Gittens guiding their march through Neil Kennedy, Kamar McLaren, Michel Jeffers and Jona Simon, all in good scoring touch, Milerock can indeed repeat.
With all to play for in this $3M promotion where $1M is at stake for the winners, Milerock would be seeking to retain this crown.
Botafago, however, would be a tough assignment for Milerock as they have shown a willingness to maintain their offensive forays throughout their campaign, which resulted with them being the most prolific goal scoring unit so far.
Donovan Francis is at the helm of this onslaught by Botafago, he netted twice against Capital FC who they eliminated 8-3, and with the likes of Jamal Haynes, Malachi Tudor, Jamal Bentick and the lanky Amaniki Buntin all finding form, Milerock will be facing an uphill task this time around.
With the winners carting off $1M and the champions trophy, this should be a gripping final.

Having been denied a place in the final, Capital FC must be looking to take third place when they meet Winners Connection at 9.00pm.
Earlier in the evening, there will be two matches with the first at 7.00pm between two junior male teams and the other at 8.00pm featuring a female clash.
Coming on board as the major sponsors this year are beverage giants Banks DIH, through their Guinness, Banks Beer, GT Beers, RYDS Wine and Rainforest Water brands, Jai Signs and Auto Spares, and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
