At the same venue (GFC), the GFF’s Under-17 Inter-Association Championship will kick off from 16:00 h with a clash between Berbice and East Bank.
Meanwhile, Administrative Director of the league, Kirk Douglas, had said recently that the league would be conducted on a two-round home and away tie basis, with the top eight of the 10 participating teams contesting a knock-out competition at the end of the first round and the winner would be declared the knock-out champions.
The eight teams will then contest a second round and the top four teams will contest another knock-out competition with the winner being declared Super League champions.
Douglas had said the GFF’s inaugural Upper League which was staged last year was played on a one-round basis, but since then the GFF decided to stage a two-round league, which of course will cost much more than last year’s league.
The first round is expected to culminate in May, before Guyana celebrates its Independence anniversary, while the second round is expected to start late August or early September and end in October.
