TWELVE teams in Linden will be aiming to cash in on the Stag Beer/Cell Smart-sponsored New Era Entertainment Futsal tournament, which starts on November 1, at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court in Linden. 

The tournament which fetches a $200 000 first prize will be officially launched on Thursday, October 16 in the mining town at the LEN Building at 13:00hrs.
“We have teams like Hard Knocks, Russians, Silver Bullets and Retrieve Unknowns, but at present, not everyone is registered so we’re asking the teams who have collected forms to please have them filled out and returned to us as soon as possible” said Aubrey Major Jr., co-director of New Era Entertainment.
According to Major, the tournament will kick off on Saturday, November 1, and playing dates will be November 2, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15 and 22.
Second-through-fourth place teams are set to pocket $100 000, $75 000 and $25 000 respectively, along with incentives for the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Most Goals Scorer.
Major noted that more information about the tournament will be disclosed at the launching that will feature the participating teams and sponsors.
