UDFA year-end Futsal Championship…

Kaieteur Sports- AT least two clubs can swiftly secure quarterfinal places tonight (Friday) on day two when the Upper Demerara Football Association’s (UDFA) $3M Christmas futsal championship continues at the Retrieve Hard Court in Linden.

As the preliminary play continues after rain forced the postponement of Wednesday night’s six matches Futsal fans are in for a treat since, weather permitting it would be most interesting as teams know the importance of a victory.

In this fourteen-team championship, two groups have three and another two consist of four and after round robin play, the top two teams will each advance into the quarterfinals.

In this scenario where three teams are in Group B, Topp XX who defeated Capital FC 4-3, on the opening night last Sunday, can with a win against Fearless at 7.00pm reach the last eight.

Then at 7.45pm the second match on the night features Group D teams and again where three teams are bracketed.

Winners Connection, who were 5-2 winners versus Coomacka, can also reach the last eight by defeating opponents Rockstone.

The third game is where the most interest will be as four teams each are involved in these clashes battling it out.

In Group A at 8.30pm Group A match pits Amelia’s Ward against Silver Shattas with the Shattas just off a 7-0 destruction by Botafago searching for a way to rebound against this Amelia’s Ward side which were held to a 5-5 draw by Net Rockers in their opening game.

After that game in a Group C which has four teams,Blueberry Hill will at 9.15pm, after holding Milerock to a 2-2 stalemate, now face Eagles United.

Eagles after securing that important win over Hi Stars will be tough to stop, but Blueberry Hill United must be encouraged with their previous performance.

That game will be followed at 10.00pm by one which also has four teams contesting in a Group C, featuring the defending champions Milerock and Hi Stars.
Milerock are seeking to improve their chances of advancing, after they were held to a 2-2 draw when they clashed with Blueberry Hill United on the first night last Sunday.

Hi Stars on the other hand cannot afford to lose again, after they went down 2-0 to Eagles United in their opener.

Game six of the night starts at 10.45pm where Group A’s Botafago fresh from an impressive 7-0 hammering of Silver Shattas, hoping to establish themselves with another solid win against Net Rockers, who played to a 5-5 draw with Amelia’s Ward.

Following tonight’s matches the tournament continues on Sunday with another six matches at the Retrieve Hard Court.
