TONIGHT, all roads lead to the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court in Linden for the start of the Unique Entertainment/Banks Premium Beer Futsal tournament.
Over $1M is up for grabs in cash and prizes, with 32 teams contesting for the winners’ purse of $500 000.

Second-place finishers are set to pocket $300 000 and fourth-placers $150 000 while fans can also cash in on the nightly giveaways compliments of Banks DIH.
Several Banks DIH officials will be making the trip to Linden to declare the tournament open, following the official march past of the competing teams.
Four games will be played tonight. In the opening game, Hard Knocks and Sharp Shooters will do battle, Retrieve Unknowns and Canvas City All-Stars will play the second game, Young Ballers and Barsonal are down to collide in the third game and the night’s final clash pits Amelia’s Ward Russians against Vipers.
Already having a rich sporting history, the organisers are banking on huge crowd support.
“We’re anticipating a great tournament and hope that people will come out and show support to the players. Most of these teams are coming from the various communities within Linden, so with that, I know they would want to cheer them on,” said the organisers.
Beverage giant Banks DIH is the event’s major sponsor and the entity has fully committed itself to the event, which is one of the most-talked-about sporting activity in the mining community.
Meanwhile, several other businesses have also come on board to make the event successful, including Mohammad’s Enterprise, Bosai Mineral Inc., Bolo Variety Store, Tom Beverage Depot, Corporate Supply Limited, Bella’s Lumber Yard, L&J Shipping, Bernard’s Variety Store and Bobby Noel’s General Store.
Matches will be played every Friday and Sunday at the same venue, until the grand final set for February 17.
