NO winners were found on the opening night of the Petra-organised 2017 Limacol Round-Robin Knock-Out Football tournament as tense action ensued at the GFC ground, Bourda.
In the first game, the Mahaica Determinators took an early lead against Guyana Police Force through Eion Abel in the second minute.

The Police, however, did what was required in producing an equaliser just five minutes from the half through Dwayne Charles.
Abel again put the Mahaica side in the lead in the 56th minute but this was short-lived as the boys in blue produced another equalising effort in the 57th through Quincy Holder.
Both teams pushed for the determining goal but neither coverted run-downs into the much-needed goal.

The feature game produced the same result as Riddim Squad held Camptown to a 1-1 draw.
Both teams were reliant on late goals as Teon Jones’ 82nd minute strike was cancelled by Jason Williams six minutes later.
Matches return to the GFC ground on Friday., with Western Tigers going toe-to-toe with New Amsterdam United in a Group B clash, while Santos are down to play Ann’s Grove in Group C action. Both games are set for the GFC ground.

The following day the event will move to the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground in Linden with Milerock battling Northern Rangers and Winners Connection facing off with Grove Hi-Tech in Group A.
The final matches of round one on January 29 will pit Uitvlugt against Eagles United in Group B and Pouderoyen against Den Amstel in Group C at a venue to be announced.

The winners of the tournament will take home $500 000 and a trophy while the second-, third- and fourth-placed teams will receive $250 000, $125 000 and $75 000 respectively.
Additionally, the winners of each group will receive $100 000 while the respective finishers will pocket $50 000, $30 000 and $20 000 apiece.
