The Petra Organisation has managed to secure the support of Tiger Rentals for a second year in the KFC Goodwill Under-18 School Football tournament from December 14-23.
Tiger Rentals, a leading international provider of specialty rental equipment to the upstream offshore oil and gas market, will see the impact of their sponsorship going towards the visiting St. Benedict’s College from Trinidad and Tobago.
The top school from the twin-island republic will journey to Guyana, along with SVB Academy from Suriname.
Those two will play alongside defending champions Annai Secondary, Christianburg Wismar, D.C. Caesar Fox Secondary, commonly called Waramadong, and Golden Grove Secondary.
Manager for Tiger Rentals Guyana, Shane Singh, thanked the Petra Organisation for once again reaching out to them to be a partner.
Singh further revealed that apart from this sponsorship and the partnership with the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) for the Under-13 League, they will look to expand in 2023, and possibly into other disciplines.
Co-Director of the coordinating group, Troy Mendonca, expressed immense gratitude for the continued support of Tiger Rentals.
Teams are scheduled to start arriving on Monday and Tuesday, and in the event their main base at the Ministry of Education Ground, Carifesta Avenue, cannot be used due to the inclement weather, action will move to Guyana Football Federation’s Training Facility at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
Additionally, Mendonca contended that the GuyOil School League, which Christianburg and Golden Grove were selected from, should put the Guyanese in good standing to perform well.
The teams will be divided into two groups of three and each team will face each other in the group. Subsequently, the first and second-placed teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals.
Group A comprises St. Benedict’s College, Golden Grove Secondary and Waramadong Secondary, while Group B includes Annai, Christianburg Wismar Secondary and SVB Academy.
