THE Hard Knocks were crowned ‘Kings of Studies’ on Saturday at the University of Guyana’s Turkeyne Campus where the small goal football tournament of the same name was played.

They were undefeated throughout the tournament and their opponents in the final, Top Strikers, could not change that as they suffered a 4-0 drubbing in that match.

Jermaine Samuels of the Hard Knocks outfit was adjudged the Most Valuable Player with eight goals and walked away with a pair of sneakers, compliments of Signature Moov and the MVP gold ring.

According to tournament organiser, Jafar Gibbons, the tournament was well executed with teams being well prepared for the on-field action in addition to being well-equipped. He explained that things ran smoothly and there were no on-field or off-field incidents.

Gibbons also expressed gratitude to the sponsors who were the Guyana Football Federation, C&L Construction Inc., the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation, Signature Moov, the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor; Sharma Solomon, Robbie Rambarran, Asim Shakur and Antonio Fredericks.
He revealed that the inaugural tournament has paved the way for more such activities on campus and hinted at making the tournament an annual fixture.
