Opening GFF/NSL matches set for GCC

THE world famous Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ground will be the venue for this Sunday’s opening matches in the FIFA/CONCACAF sponsored Guyana Football Federation (GFF) organised National Super League l tournament.

Originally, the Guyana National Stadium which is well known to be the fastest drying venue in the Caribbean, was scheduled to host the opening matches in this inaugural tournament which was launched last Sunday at the Guyana Pegasus Hotel, but due to the unavailability of another international team to face Guyana’s Golden Jaguars, the GFF had no alternative but to change the venue, to which they apologised for any inconvenience caused.

With the final four challenging each other for the best share of the G$2m which the GFF will be looking to source from sponsors and corporate Guyana, action in this tournament ,which according to president of the GFF Colin Klass can turn out to be a professional league, should be sizzling.

In Sunday’s opening match, East Coast’ Victoria Kings will face Rosignol United from 17:00h with Sunburst Camptown and three times Georgetown Football Association (GFA)Cellink Plus Premiere League champions Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United facing each other in a heated clash from 19:00h.

The action continues the following Sunday, with five matches being played around the country, including the Blairmont Community Centre ground, where Rosignol United and Buxton United will clash from 16:00h.

At the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground in Linden, another double header will be the order of the day, as football fans in the mining town witnessing Bakewell Topp XX, the most decorative team in the Kashif and Shangai annual tournament, and Bartica’s Liquid Gold clashing from 18:00h.

The feature match which kicks off at 20:00h pits Milerock and Sunburst Camptown, while at the Uitvlugt and Guyana Defence Force(GDF) grounds respectively, Seawall United and Alpha along with GDF and Victoria Kings will clash from 16:00h.
