THE third biennial Masters Football Classic known as ‘Rasta v Baldhead’ is set for Saturday August 22 at the Georgetown Football Club ground, Bourda at 19:00 h.

The event which was inaugurated in 2005 is a showcase for the talent of the footballers of old as players from over 40 years ago participate in the series.

From its inception the series has made an impact, attracting not only a large fan base but also interested sponsors. This year the game will boast an international flavour as players from St Lucia, Mexico and Senegal will be participating.

The Baldheads won in 2005 and the Rastas took it away in 2007 but despite this competitive enmity the series’ main objective is being served. In this instance sports is being used to promote and highlight tolerance, unity, cooperation and dialogue among Guyanese citizens and the world at large.
