DEFENDING champions Christianburg/Wismar Secondary will face Mackenzie High School while Wisburg collide with Linden Foundation today in the semi-finals of the Edward ‘Screw’ Richmond Memorial football tournament. This is the seventh staging of the tournament that is played to honour one of the best players from Linden, Edward ‘Screw’ Richmond, and today will feature three teams who have already staked claim to the coveted title.
Known around Guyana as ‘Multi’, Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School has built a reputation of being one the country’s most feared team on the pitch, due to their dominance, especially at the Digicel Schools Football Championship.
An undefeated run so far in the competition puts them again Mackenzie High who finished second in their group behind Wisburg, to set up a clash with the team that had broken their hearts over the years in various tournaments.
Linden Foundation, former champions, face a Wisburg team that have shown their hunger to stake its lien on the trophy for the first time.
