East Coast Premier League kicks-off today

The East Coast Demerara Football Sub-Association (ECDFA) Ansa Mc Al Limited Premier League competition kicks-off today from 5pm at the Plaisance Community Centre Ground.

Officials from Ansa Mc Al Limited and the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) will be there to witness the opening activities which includes a march past of the nine participating teams who will vie for over $800,000 in prizes.

The teams in the competition are defending champions BV Triumph United, Victoria Kings, Bakewell Buxton Stars, Golden Stars, Mahaica Determinators, Ann’s Grove United, Black Stallion, Plaisance United and Buxton United.

Players are asked to note that they must be fully attired in their club uniform for the march past.
Immediately after the march past and all other opening activities, Black Stallion will take on Buxton United at 6pm followed by the Plaisance /Ann’s Grove fixture from 8pm.

The competition which will be played at three venues on the East Coast including Plaisance, Buxton and BV grounds, will continue on Sunday at the Buxton Ground with Golden Stars going up against Mahaica Determinators at 2pm whilst Victoria Kings will tackle Bakewell Buxton Stars at 4pm in the feature matchup. The Victoria/Bakewell Buxton game is expected to be a tight battle since both teams have been training hard for the league. The Kings will be looking to wrestle its way back on top of East Coast  Football after finishing behind BV Triumph and Buxton in last year’s league whilst Buxton will be looking to maintain its position as the number two ranked team on the East Coast.
