INAUGURAL winners of the One Guyana President Cup 2-day Futsal Championship North East on Monday collected their prize monies at the office of the Director of Sport at the National Sport Commission (NSC) at his Middle Street office.
On Sunday North East defeated Bent Street on sudden death penalty kicks 5-4 after a riveting 1-1 draw regulation time.

While Sparta Boss hammered Unstoppable 4-nil to take the third place honours with Ryan Hackett accounting for all his teams’ goals.
Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle presented the winnings and spoke on the significance of the competition.

“Each and everyone here can boast about being participants of the first President Games, this will be an annual event, it’s an initiative of his Excellency Dr Mohammed Irfaan Ali which is being organised by the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports and the National Sports Commission.”

Ninvalle said they have already concluded some other aspects of the Games.
“Other disciplines would have finished also, badminton, volleyball, table tennis with tennis scheduled to finish soon, and squash in another week or so, I want to say congratulations to all the winners and prepare for next year.”
Ryan Hackett also collected the award for the highest goal scorer in the tournament.

Assistant Director of Sports Franklyn Wilson, one of the chief organisers says the competition is a timely one by the Head of State

“It is wonderful initiative his Excellency, who is always at the forefront of pushing and promoting across all disciplines. In the past we would have been accustomed to a cavalcade of sports but this is a different concept bringing together in the shorter format.”
He says the move to bring all the sports under one umbrella in such a short period is a novel one and he anticipates it will be much bigger for the next edition in 2025 with more sports on the cards.
Volleyball, Badminton and Table Tennis results will be in a subsequent edition of Chronicle Sport.
