This year’s NaMilCo Football Festival which opens today with a double header at the Tucville ground, should be a bright affair.
The organizers of the tournament have benefited from the largesse of local beverage giants, Banks DIH Limited, who have ploughed over$1m into the tournament’s staging.
Yesterday, at the Fruta Conquerors FC Headquarters in Tucville, Outdoor Events Manager Mortimer Stewart handed over items including 1500 watts halogen lamps and sheds for the teams to President of the club Marlan Cole.
“We know how important our role is in assisting in the development of sport locally and we intend to fulfill that role,” said Stewart.
Cole, in response, thanked Banks DIH on behalf of the Fruta Conquerors club and assured of a well organized competition.
Action in the competition will commence at 6pm with the University of Guyana taking on Sunburst Camptown while Northern Rangers and Beacons will clash in the second encounter at 8pm.
