The annual Osmond Cummings Memorial Football Championship will officially commence on Sunday at the Silvertown ground, Linden from 10:00am.
The event, which is in its eight edition, is named after former Botofago president Osmond Cummings.
A highlight of the schedule is a women’s clash at 13:00hrs. The hosts, Botafago, lock horns with a Select XI emanating from Linden. Meanwhile, the main attraction at 16:00hrs will pit Botofago against newcomer Capital FC.
