…German Restaurant pitches in
THE game of futsal will bring the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall to life as the opening game of this year’s 6th annual Mackeson English/Kashif and Shanghai Futsal Tournament will be held there tonight at 19:00 h.

The tournament roster features 32 teams including past champions Fruta Conquerors who have two titles under their belt and Flamingo who is a one time winner.

This year’s games will be played under the straight knockout format with two games being featured weekly on Saturdays and Mondays.

Kashif Mohamed of Kashif and Shanghai, who got on board as an organiser of the event three years ago, said that everything is in place and that all preparations are in line. Mohamed related that he is very excited because this will be the second major Futsal tournament for the year. He went on to say that the sponsorship is good but for serving the purpose of treating the fans more is needed and thus he and fellow organisers are currently awaiting word from other sponsors.

On Thursday Giftland Office Max and German Restaurant pitched in to augment the efforts of Kashif and Shanghai and Frank “English” Parris.
