UDFA Year End $3m Futsal Tournament
– Absent Amelia’s Ward and Eagles Draw attention from organisers

Kaieteur Sports – The Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) year-end $3M futsal tournament continued Sunday night with victories for Capital FC over Fearless by a 4-2 margin, Hi Stars sailed past Blueberry Hill 1-0, Silver Shattas edged Net Rockers 3-2, while Rockstone drew with Coomacka 3-3, but Eagles United gave Botafago victory via walk over route, also Amelia’s Ward Panthers virtually declined to face Botafago as the UDFA Christmas tournament which has a $1M first prize, final group play ended at the Retrieve Hard Court.
Amelia’s Ward Panthers and Eagles United for their no show are being sought explanations since it has significant implications for group points standing and the fairness of the competition, said the UDFA’s Kelon Josiah in letters to the defaulting teams.
However, their actions may not necessarily affect the advancing of teams even though Blueberry Hill would be just in denouncing the actions of fellow Christianburg side Eagles United for destroying their hopes by not taking the court against Milerock who benefitted with a win which allowed them to get past Blueberry Hill by one point.
In Group C, Milerock with that win ended on five points after two previous draws, and they jumped past Blueberry Hill who finished on four points from one win, one draw and one loss, to join Hi Stars who ended on seven points from two wins and a draw, to lead that group.
In Group A, Botafago were leading with six points from two wins and that walkover propelled them to nine points as Amelia’s Ward Panthers were a no show, and Silver Shattas from two wins and a loss  finished with six points, joined them as the other team after beating Net Rockers 3-2.
Playing in Group B, Topp XX ended as the top qualifier after two wins for six points from their allotted games and Capital FC by defeating Fearless 4-2, finished on three points to advance as the second team.
Winners Connection with a win and a draw ended with four points topped Group D, while Rockstone after their 3-3 draw with Coomacka joined Winners Connection as the two teams moving ahead.
On Boxing Night the quarterfinals will be played in this $3M championship from 7.00pm at the Retrieve Hard Court in Mackenzie, Linden.
