Milo School’s Football Championship…

THE Milo Schools Football championship is heading into the quarter finals on Sunday with four tantalising battles expected at the Ministry of Education ground.
Organizer Troy Mendonca says these games will surely thrill spectators, telling Chronicle Sport, “Very good quarter finals are on this weekend, I think all the match-ups are going to be scintillating.”

He highlighted that the fact that teams have been paying coaches has boosted the on-field performance of several units.
“The assistance given by the Ministry of Education by paying individuals that operate as coaches for these teams is great. It’s no longer a teacher giving their time, but person working with the team,” Mendonca said.

Following Sunday’s quarter-final, the semi-final is set for Thursday with the final being on Sunday.
The opening contest this Sunday is expected to feature defending champions Chase Academy against Bartica Secondary.
The winner of that clash will play the winner of East Ruimveldt Secondary versus President’s College game which kicks off from 14 hours 30.

The days other two clashes features Ann’s Grove playing Waramauri Primary Top for a chance to meet the winner of the other quarter final match up which pits Dolphin Secondary against West Ruimveldt.
The tournament is sponsored by Nestle MILO, sanctioned by the Ministry of Education and approved by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
Other sponsors include Ministry of Sport, Ministry of Local Government, Yellow Steel Inc, Massy and MVP sports.

The teams are vying for a top prize of $300,000 towards a school project; while second, third and fourth place will receive $200,000, $150,000 and $75,000 also towards a project for their respective schools
