TWO teams remain in the Region Four inter-ward leg of the inaugural One-Guyana President’s Cup football tournament following semi-final action yesterday at the GFF National Training Centre at Providence. Both matches were played in overcast conditions accompanied by sprinkling of rain.

In the opening match, BV/Buxton needled Grove/Diamond through a Dellon Wright effort in the second half (69th minute).

Meanwhile, the feature encounter saw an extremely comfortable and talented Tucville side ease past Plaisance/Lilliendaal 5-0. At the end of the first half, the score was 4-0 with Shemar Fraser, Nicholas McArthur, Kelsey Benjamin and Simeon Moore scoring one goal each. In the second half, Fraser added one more goal to his name.

Following yesterday’s matches, the fixtures for tomorrow’s final and third place have been set. The action gets underway from 18:00hrs at the Ministry of Education ground with the third place clash between Plaisance and Grove/Diamond. The final kicks off at 20:30hrs and will see Tucville/South Ruimveldt coming up against BV/Buxton.

This one-of-a-kind tournament will feature two stages. First, 16 inter-ward teams in each administrative region of Guyana will compete for top honours.

The second stage will see a 25-man squad comprising the best players of each of the 10 Regions selected for a grand battle to decide the victors of the One-Guyana President’s Cup on January 1, 2023.
