After that clash, action shifts to Buxton Ground at 13:30 hours, when Guyana School of Agriculture take on Mahaicony Technical and Vocational Training Centre. MTVTC enters with a massive psychological edge after dismantling their opponents 10–3 in their previous encounter. The work is not quite complete, MTVTC currently in a better position to fancy their chances of sealing progression. GSA, meanwhile, must tighten defensively and hopefully serve up a theaterical finish, if they are to overturn the deficit and keep knockout hopes alive.
Followong that, at the same venue, Cyril Potter College of Education will host the Linden Technical Institute in another decisive fixture. CPCE also with a tough challenge on their hand, needing to win LTI by at least two goals to advance.
With quarterfinal spots within touching distance, Mahaicony TVTC and Linden Technical Institute could potentially become the first two institutions to book their places into the next round.
