THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF), in collaboration with football teams of Region One, broke new grounds yesterday when for the first time an organised tournament got underway in Hosororo.
The GFF-NAMILCO National U-17 League, in its 7th year, is including the North West Region for the first time, where the teams have been divided into 3 zones: Matakai, Moruca and Mabaruma.

Yesterday the 6-team zone of Mabaruma kicked off at the Mabaruma Settlement playfield and resulted in a 5-0 demolition of Green Park by home team.
Ricardo Allen netted a hat-trick, while there was one goal each for Reon Richards and Chad Scott. The other fixture of the double-header ended in a 1-1 stalemate between White Creek and Kissing Rocks..

As part of the assistance to develop the sport in the Region, the national Federation conducted two 1-day courses simultaneously.
The Referee Beginners’ Course was conducted by GFF’s Referee Instructor Abdulla Hamid and the Coaches Introductory Course was done by the Federation’s head of Coaching Education, Lyndon France.

The Region, which has gifted this country a number of National youth players, is making every effort, with the help of the governing body, to establish a Members Association.
In a message to the Region, president of GFF, Wayne Forde, stated, “My vision is to do everything possible to ensure that all Guyanese, young and old and of all races and religions, have equitable access to football development programmes and resources, in particular, players from the hinterland communities who have been achieving success over the years and have demonstrated an unrivalled passion and love for the sport”.
