Riddim Squad and Vurlon Mills Academy to square off in final tomorrow

THEY have both played undefeated to date and have duly earned the right to contest the final of the 4th edition of the East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-11 League, sponsored by USA-based Guyanese, Ralph Green, which be contested tomorrow at the GFF National Training Centre, Providence, EBD. Vurlon Mills Academy, which topped Group ‘A’ and then moved on to the semi-finals where they trounced Kuru Kururu Warriors 5-0, will take on Riddim Squad, which won Group ‘B’ and went on to take care of their semi-final against last year’s champs, Timehri panthers, 2-0.

While the Academy boys are exposed to consistent training on a weekly basis at the new Vurlon Mills Academy, the Riddim Squad lads have been doing their thing at the Mocha Ground and fancy their chances of taking the champion’s trophy come tomorrow.

The respective coaches, former ‘Golden Jaguars’ Vurlon Mills and Shawn Maloney will no doubt be putting in some extra work as they seek to end the tournament on a high as one of the two teams to keep their unbeaten record intact; which team that will be is anybody’s guess.

Sponsor Ralph Green will be attending tomorrow’s matches along with GFF President Wayne Forde and GFF Executive Member with responsibility for the EBFA, Dion Inniss.

The Third place match will commence at 09:30hrs with the final at 10:15hrs.
