Coordinator of Hamilton Green Cup announces revised fixtures
Exciting pound-for-pound football action set for Plasiance ground from March 1-21 as Hamilton Green Cup returns.
Kaieteur News- As thirty-two teams gear up for the annual Hamilton Green nine-a-side Inter-Ward/Village Knockout Football Cup, organisers have confirmed key fixture changes ahead of Sunday’s kickoff.
Coordinator and former national football coach, Lennox Arthur, announced a reshuffle to the March 1 and March 4 fixtures, while assuring fans that all match days remain unchanged.
The tournament is set to run from March 1–21 at the Plaisance Ground, returning top-flight community football to the East Bank of Demerara corridor. The two revised opening nights will feature all 32 teams before the field narrows to the final sixteen.

“All match days remain the same. However, changes were made to the March 1st and 4th fixtures after a polite request by a few other organisers,” Arthur explained. “In keeping with our good organisational ethics to the game, we were forced to reshuffle our fixture. Everything else remains the same, and fans can look forward to even more excitement.”

The opening night will now feature West Side Alliance taking on Eagles in the curtain-raiser. This will be followed by Herstelling facing Beavers, Zeelugt matching skills with Bell West Stars, and Uitvlugt opening their campaign against Team Pele.
