GFF SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A ROUND OF ATC GAMES
7th November, Georgetown: The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) successfully concluded friendly under 13, 15 and 17 Academy Training Centre (ATC) matches over the weekend at the National Track and Field Facility in Leonora.
The participating ATCs were the Berbice Football Association (BFA), West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) and East Bank Football Association (EBFA). Under 17 games were completed on Saturday followed by the under 13 and 15 games on Sunday.
Present the games were GFF Technical Director, Ian Greenwood, WDFA Technical Development Officer, Orin Ferrier and GFF Executive Member, Keith Ojeer.
In an invited comment, Ojeer stated: “The prime objective behind having different ATC compete against each other is to increase the number of games the members of the academies participated in. They are a maximum of hours in playing time required for academies to develop. The teams have been training for over six months. We are embarking on a plan for the academies to play each other on a regular basis. The federation has implemented matches throughout the various associations at the U15 and 17 levels to increase playing times academies will have. Plans are underway for each association to have a U13 league to also increase academy playing times.”
The results of the games are as follows:
Under 17 Saturday games:
1) WDFA v BFA. 1:0
2) BFA v EBFA. 0:0
3) WDFA v EBFA. 1-1
