AMIDST the challenges faced by Petra Organisation, organisers of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T)/Limacol Round Robin/Knockout Football Competition, they have confirmed that the finals will be contested this Sunday at the Mackenzie Sports Club in Linden.

According to Co-Director of the Organsation Troy Mendonca, Secretary of the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) Terrence Mitchell recently made contact with them to approve that all football activities organised by the UDFA have been suspended to accommodate the staging of the grand finale between Linden’s Milerock and East Coast Demerara’s Victoria Kings.
This now means the UDFA League will break on Friday instead of the initial plan which was next Wednesday.
Mendonca disclosed that UDFA President Sharma Solomon met with the executive in an emergency meeting on Monday night to organisation to stage the final in the discuss how best they could facilitate the request made by the Mining Town on Sunday and they agreed to put on hold their own league until next year.
The Petra Director also mentioned that the organisation is extremely grateful to the executive of the UDFA in agreeing to accommodate the finale at a time when they too have ongoing football activities.
The UDFA is scheduled to commence their year-end tournament shortly and have three teams from their association set to appear on Sunday, two in the third-place playoff and one in the final.
The third-place playoff is an all-Linden affair between Topp XX, who lost to Victoria Kings and Winners Connection that fell to Milerock in semi-final action, at the Victoria Community Centre ground on Saturday night.
