Region Nine surge to second win

THE One Guyana President’s Cup football tournament resumed on Friday night at the National Track & Field Centre, Leonora, for match night three in the second leg of this prestigious competition featuring teams from Region One to Ten matching skills for a prize purse exceeding $30M.

The opening match promised to be a mouthwatering contest between Region Three -who won their first match 6-0 – and Region Two. However, the match was called off after 11 minutes of play due to a water-logged outfield that prevented the ball from moving along the pitch. But, that game will resume at the 11th minute on Tuesday, December 20.

Meanwhile, in the feature game of the night, Region Nine registered their second win in as many matches to give themselves a very good chance of coming out of Group A. which also has Region Four who recorded a 7-1 win over Region Seven on Wednesday.

The match finished 3-0 and on the scoresheet for the winners were Brandon Parks (33rd minute), Von Harding (36th minute) and Quason Gillette in the (48th minute).
The tournament continues today with Region Four up against Region Eight from 20:30hrs, followed by Region Two and Region Ten from 18:00hrs at the National Track and Field Facility.

Admission to tonight’s matches will be $1 000 for adults while children will enter free of charge. The One Guyana President’s Cup football tournament is collaboration among the Government of Guyana, the Guyana Football Federation and the Kashif & Shanghai Organisation.
