THE second edition of the KFC Goodwill series yesterday gained support from Wellman Original and Vitabiotics Feroglobin.

Both products, solely distributed by Mike’s Pharmacy in Guyana will be given to all the schools in the 2019 edition of the tournament.

During yesterday’s partnership announcement, Marketing Manager for Vitabiotics, Michael Jessimy, told the media that the brand is not a stranger to sports locally.

“This is’ not our first foray into sport. We support cricket as well. We will always be willing to help in the promotion of sport and it will help in the long run to develop sport.”

He noted that the brand has been on board with several prolific cricketers thus far, adding that, “We may very well be able to see Guyana’s next prolific striker from this tournament.”

Meanwhile, co-director of the Petra organization, Troy Mendonca, stated that they are pleased to have the company on board for the tournament.

He also confirmed that Lodge Secondary and Annandale are the two schools that will complete the six-team lineup for the KFC tournament.

While there are still two rounds left in the tournament, the Petra co-director said, “We are going to try to complete the league as early as the weather permits.”

Mendonca noted, however, that their priority is the KFC goodwill series and getting the ground in shape for the 2019 edition of the tournament which begins on December 14.

“We took the decision (to announce Annandale and Lodge Secondary) because those two teams have an unassailable lead in the tournament.

The first playing date will feature Annai against Annandale from 17:00hrs at the Ministry of Education ground with the Lodge Secondary playing USL Montjoly.

On the second playing date, (December 16), the Lodge Secondary will play Waramadong with Shiva Boys playing Annai in game two.

On the third playing date, Shiva Boys will play Annandale with Waramadong opposing USL Montjoly.

The semi-finals are billed for December 20 with the third place playoff and final set for December 22.
