MCYS/Ansa McAL June Madness Futsal
Road Warriors
Kaieteur Sports – The teams earning the right to battle for the top prize of Two-Million dollars will be formalised tonight, Tuesday night, when the semifinals of the June Madness Futsal championship are contested at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
Forty-eight teams commenced the quest to be the best in this inaugural edition of the June Madness championship and its now down to the real business end of the action. All the hard work will pay the requisite dividends as only one team will end as the best and bragging rights for the next year.
In the lineup with just two games to lifting the championship trophy and the cheque are Road Warriors, who will battle Gold Is Money in the first semi, with Sparta Boss tacking Back Circle ‘A’ in the second tonight.
Back Circle have scored the second highest number of goals in their three matches so far, 21 and have conceded 4. Their level of efficiency on the offensive end is more than double their opponents, Sparta, who have scored 10 goals whilst conceding 6.
From that perspective alone, Back Circle will start as favourites to move on to the championship game but for this to become reality, the likes of Chris Macey, Simeon Moore, Cecil Jackman, Darren Benjamin, Stephon Reynolds, Ravin Naughton, Fabian Abrams, Amos Ramsey and goalkeeper Azriel Davis, will all have to come to the party in some way, shape of form.
Sparta boasts a formidable line-up of current and former national players in their armory, and while they have not been very convincing in their three wins to date, they certainly know how to win when it matters.
The likes of Curtez Kellman, who has scored in every game, talisman Jermain ‘Panky’ Junor, Ryan ‘Bum Bum’ Hacket, Kelsey Benjamin, Nicholas McArthur, Jobe Caesar, Darron Niles and the reliable goalie, Omar Jones will have to combine in a rock solid way to deny, Back Circle.

The other match up features a very offensive minded Road Warriors unit that has scored a total of 27 goals in their three matches whilst letting in 4 goals, taking on the mean Gold Is Money who have scored the least goals of the four semi-finalists, 9 but they have conceded the least, just 2.
This is the perfect match-up between offence and defence and fans are in for a mouthwatering shindig.
Following their massive opening win by a 16-0 margin, the Road Warriors’ potency in offence has dipped as their second match ended 7-1 and their third, a very close 4-3. This might be good news for Gold Is Money whose technical staff would have been studying the Brazilians’ style of play and will have to come up with a strategy to counter them.
The likes of Luis Da Silva, who has the most goals of all players, Matheus De Souza, Arckson Andreazza, Wendrecky De Souza, Ricardo Silva and company will have to be mindful of the almost airtight defence of the Gold Is Money team.
They’ll be spearheaded by the Pedro brothers, Jamal and Hubert, elder statesman William Europe, Randolph Wagner, Dextroy Adams, Stephon Jupiter, the youthful Bryan Wharton and the most efficient custodian to date, Joel Yhap.
The respective winners will battle in Saturday night’s final with the biggest prize money in futsal at stake, two-million for the winner and 1-million for the loser. The third-place winner will be rewarded with $500,000 while fourth place is valued, $250,000.
Preceding the semis will be a masters match between Linden All Stars and the GT Masters, the winner will clash with another City team on Saturday when there will be $100,000 and $50,000 at stake for the winner and loser.
And, the female segment of the June Madness championship will also continue tonight from 20:00hrs when Lady Canaimas seek to win their second match against Pouderoyen Females. The other game will see The Lioness facing Tucville Terrorists.
