A POTENTIALLY mouthwatering double-header is set for the Grove Playfield this evening when the Stag Super XV1 knock-out football tournament continues with action on day two.

Already off to a flying start following play at the No.5 ground West Coast Berbice last Sunday, fans can look forward to another day of pulsating rivalry.
The four teams on show today in an East Coast against East Bank match-up will be seeking to join Monedderlust and Cougars in the quarterfinals, the two teams coming out victorious after Sunday’s action.
The feature game this evening will see the East Banks #1 side, Grove Hi Tech, led by captain Dominic Garnett take on East Coast’s BV Triumph United. The prolific forward, who ended the East Bank Football Association Stag Beer-sponsored first division league as the leading scorer, will be hoping to transfer his form to this competition and take care of business in their first game.
Support will come from the likes of Trevor Jones, Clive Matthews Jr, Lloyd Matthews, Wayne Andries, Devon Joseph, Rondell Alleyne (goalkeeper) Dexter Archer, Denzel Crawford and Marvin Squires among others.
BV Triumph United’s charge for victory will be led by the elder statesman and left-footed Delroy Deen whose exploits are known. Like Grove Hi Tech, the BV team do not feature big names but their players can be destructive on the day if they have their way.
Back-up for Deen will be in the form of Deshane Garnett, Shemar Fraser, Paul Kingston, Compton Cudjoe, Jamil and Jomaul Murray, Michael Williams, Yonel Price and Jamal December.
The opening game at 18:00hrs will see the East Bank’s second-seeded team, Agricola Red Triangle coming up against Ann’s Grove. Neither team knows much about the other and will therefore not be taking each other for granted.
The more assertive of the two teams will likely move on when the dust is settled this evening. Both teams are village-based and their supporters are expected to be out in numbers to support and urge them on.
Combining for Ann’s Grove will be Kevon Barry, Nickose Denny, Quincy Johnson, Antonio Jackson, Maxton Adams, Jamin Rogers, Levon Adams, Steve Francis, Gregory Doris, Dwayne Duke, Mervin Hardy and Travis Allen.
At the helm of the Agricola attack will be their leading and inspirational scorer Gordon Grant who will find ample support in Kacy John, Lumumba Hinds, Travis Welch, Winston Rawlins, Daniel Angoy, Yohance Roberts, Marlon Clarke, Collis Samuels, Jermaine Frank and Devon Jeffers.
Only two of the four teams on display today will be empowered to move on to the quarterfinals.
