Houston Stars were defeated 1 – 6 by their opponents while Beacon United defeated Plaisance Champions 2 -1, Black Pearl sunk North Grove 2 – 0, Flamingo slammed Buxton Back 4 – 0, Uprising defeated Georgetown Football Club 3  – 1, BV Sideline Dam got past Riddim Squad 2 – 1 and Guyana Defence Force (GDF) trounced South Soesdyke 4 – 1.

Fruta Conquerors and Crane Grove who were scheduled to contest the third match of the night did not because the Crane Grove team did not show up. Stabroek Sports understands that they are no longer in the tournament.

The organizers were billed to meet yesterday to decide on a solution to the problem.

Tonight there are eight matches on the card, GDF versus Independence Boulevard, GFC versus Ann’s Grove Punters, Alpha United versus Flamingo, Western Tigers versus Black Pearl, Santos versus Beacons, Sunburst Camptown versus Victoria Champions, Fruta Conquerors versus Northern Rangers and Pele versus BV Sideline Dam.
