Today the semi-final double header of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GTT)/Limacol Round Robin/Knockout tournament goes down tonight at the Victoria Community Centre Ground.Linden’s force will be great since three teams of the final four are from town while the lone wolf, Victoria Kings will still have home turf advantage. The East Coast of Demerara team will face one of the tournament favourites Topp XX in the feature clash of the double header from 20:00 hours.

In the other semi-final, it will be an all-Linden affair as Winners Connection take on Milerock from 18:00 hours.

Topp XX have played unbeaten so far and are obviously not to be taken lightly since their resolute defence has caused them to concede only two goals in three matches. They boast the likes of veteran Travis Waterton who leads the side with four goals while Oswald Benjamin has been solid in support.

They also have former national player Collie Hercules, who still controls the game from centre field. However, the hosts have players of quality as well, and playing before their home crowd which is anticipated to be large, is a significant advantage.

Winston Pompey and Alden Lawrence have accounted for six of the eight goals they’ve scored in the three matches, sharing the spoils equally.

The opening game will see Winners Connection who has an outstanding record in the competition so far take the Milerock team that had a shaky start to the tournament but steadily progressed. Winners Connection will look to Marmarlaque Davidson who leads the pack with six goals and his main support has been Keon Sears, who has two of his own.

Meanwhile, Milerock, who had to play four times to reach this stage, is capable of springing an upset to Winners Connection. The trio Clarence Huggins, Jermain Grandison and Denzil Fordyce has taken on the responsibility of getting the goals for the team. Huggins leads the pack with four goals, while Fordyce and Grandison have two apiece.

Up for grabs are $500,000 and the championship trophy for the winners of the tournament, while the runner-up, third and fourth-placed finishers receive $250,000, $125,000 and $75,000 respectively.
Among the other sponsors on board are: National Sports Commission and Sterling Products.
