Defending champion Bent Street, Sparta Boss, Leopold Street, Broad Street and Melanie secured berths to the knockout round when the NSC/Magnum Futsal Championship continued on Saturday at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.
However, the evening was marred by the non-appearance of the Guyana Football Federation [GFF] referees, forcing the organizer to solicit the services of a former official and player to officiate the matches.
This was in spite of the federation sanctioning the tournament. The subsequent non-appearance of the referees forced proceedings to commence three hours later than its 20:00hrs start time.
