FYZABAD Secondary School of Trinidad and Tobago arrived in Guyana last evening ahead of their two-day tour, compliments of Fruta Conquerors Football Club and the Guyana Beverage Company. The teams, male and female, will play Fruta Conquerors U-19 male and female sides starting tonight at the club’s Tucville Community Centre home ground.
Club president Wayne Forde told the media at the briefing held upon the team’s arrival, that the school’s visit coincides with the Fruta Conquerors summer programme and will be used to showcase their skills against the unknown counterparts.
Managing Director of the Guyana Beverage Company, Robert Selman, hailed the club’s initiative and welcomed the school to Guyana.
Selman said that being a native of the Twin Island Republic and living close to where the school is located in South Trinidad, their (Fyzabad) visit to Guyana carries a lot of sentimental feelings.
Meanwhile, the coaches and players from the visiting side made it clear that they did not come to Guyana to lose.
