… Fagus General Store and R&K Service Station on board
TONIGHT’S highly anticipated clash between Slingerz FC and Den Amstel in the final Stag Beer West Side Mashramani Champions Cup has been postponed to Saturday, March 19.
The venue remains the same – Uitvlugt Community Centre – and the organisers are certain that the hype and fanfare will be the same as it was before tonight’s postponed game.Hosted by the Slingerz Football Club, the tournament is played as the club’s one-year anniversary, commemorating the existence of the team that was recently crowned Champions of the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA).
The game between the two also marks a rematch of last year’s final which was won 3-0 by Slingerz and it also was the first of their three trophies (Banks Beer Cup and WDFA League are the others) that they hoisted in 2013.
Just like the previous year, $500 000 is set to be awarded to the winners, second-placers $250 000, third-placers $150 000 and fourth-placers $100 000.
Meanwhile, Fagus General Store and R&K Service Station, both hailing from Parika, are the latest businesses to come on board as sponsors, joining Double Day Hotel, Star Party Rentals, Nicola’s Bar, Two Brothers Service Station and Ansa McAl.
They handed over cheques of undisclosed sums to the organisers recently and shared identical remarks with regard to being elated in not only supporting Slingerz FC but supporting sports on the West Demerara.
