WITHIN the next 24 hours, the curtain will go up on the Slingerz Football Club, in association with the National Association of Women’s Football ‘Goal for Gold’ tournament, and yesterday Star Party Rentals saw it fit to throw their support behind this lucrative tournament.

Trenton Griffith, acting on behalf of the management of Star Party Rentals, made a donation of an undisclosed sum to the organisers of the tournament in which the winners will pocket G$2M and the runners-up half of that amount.
In presenting the cheque to Public Relations Officer of the organising club, Mark Younge, Griffith expressed his Company’s delight at being chosen to partner with such a vibrant organisation, while Younge thanked the sponsors for their generosity, saying it would help make the tournament a successful one.
The tournament is a two-tier one in nature, with 16 male teams and 8 women teams battling for respective honours.

The third- and fourth-place finishers in the male category will receive $500 000 and $300 000 respectively, while each of the teams will receive $25 000 to assist with preparations heading into the tournament.
