WINNERS of this year’s Brian Tiwari 60th Birth Anniversary Football Competition were rewarded with their prizes on Monday, during a simple ceremony that was conducted at the company’s head office on Water Street, Kingston.

He promised to make the event an annual one and hopefully increase his involvement and the popularity of the tournament.

“As long as my good friend Lennox Arthur approaches me I will continue to support the tournament and even try to make it bigger”, Tiwari stated.
Meanwhile, Den Amstel trounced Timehri Panthers 4-0 in the final to cart off the major prize worth $100 000, while Timehri Panthers took home $50 000.
