Tallman:
Goal Shield kicks off tomorrow
By Kern De Freitas (T&T Express)
 
"It's all about goals."

That's T&T Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene's take on the 2012 Lucozade Sport Goal Shield, which kicks off tomorrow at Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella and Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain from 6 p.m.

The Pro League, which launched the 2012 Goal Shield at the VIP Lounge of the Hasely Crawford Stadium yesterday, is adding a few incentives to spice up the tournament, with the winners earning, in addition to a starting winners' prize of $20,000, additional cash prizes for each goal scored in the different rounds of the competition.

The champions will collect $1,000 for each goal scored at the quarter-final stage, $2,000 for each semi-final goal, and another $3,000 for goals in the final.

For the runners-up, they get $500, $1,000 and $1,500 for each round, respectively, in addition to the $10,000 second prize. There will also be a spectator's competition, with three fans in a shootout to win $500.

Sponsors Lucozade Sport have also upped the ante, increasing their sponsorship this year from $70,000 to $80,000. They are also targeting the fans, with one lucky patron winning a trip to England to watch a Premier League match of their choice.

Teams for the competition have been drawn for the quarter-final round on the basis of their final Pro League positions, with defending champs North East Stars facing Pro League runners-up T&TEC in the second match of a double-header at "Manny Ramjohn" from 8 p.m.

The earlier match at Marabella, kicking off at 6 p.m., will feature 2011-2012 Pro League winners W Connection against St Ann's Rangers.

At Hasely Crawford Stadium, Caledonia AIA come up against Police from 6 p.m., while the most mouth-watering clash of the "quarters", between Defence Force and San Juan Jabloteh, will kick off at 8 p.m.

At the launch, Skeene thanked the sponsors for their continued support in the current difficult economic climate and singled out team owners David John-Williams of W Connection, Caledonia AIA's Jamaal Shabazz and North East Stars' Darryl Mahabir for their continued support of the Pro League.

Lucozade brand manager Keenan Henry reiterated his company's support of the Goal Shield, saying the fans are also an integral part of football.

"We may forget a great pass, or a great save, or even a great cross, but we'll always remember a great goal," Henry said. "In other words, the Lucozade Sport Shield is not only for players to push themselves, but also for the fans and spectators to have the most memorable experience."

One extremely lucky Lucozade Sport Goal Shield spectator at this season’s Final on Friday 27 April and a guest of his/her choice will win a trip to England to view an English Premier League match of choice next season with all expenses paid by Lucozade Sport.

This was revealed at the official launch of the 2011-12 season Lucozade Sport Goal Shield on Wednesday at the Hasely Crawford Stadium VIP Lounge.

Keenan Henry, Brand Manager Caribbean, Lucozade Sport explained, “We have decided to focus even more on the fans and spectators (this season).”

Added to the $80,000 in sponsorship for the Goal Shield knockout tournament which is in its third season, the Lucozade Sport— also the official sport drink of the English Premier League—has thrown in what could be dubbed the most attractive supporter prize in Trinidad and Tobago football.

“Lucuzade Sport is a global brand and the brand is most prominent at the English Premier League as the official sport drink in the most popular football league in Europe,” said Henry.

“This is where we at Glaxcosmithkline have decided, we are pleased to share that one lucky spectator who attends the final (of the Lucozade Sport Goal Shield) on Friday 27 will have an opportunity of a grand prize for a memorable experience of attending an English Premier League game of their choice during the next season with all expenses paid. The winner will be allowed to be accompanied by one guest. We are offering this prize to say thanks to our loyal fans and supporters because without them our league and by extension our local football will not grow.”

The Lucozade Sport Goal Shield kicks off on Friday 13 April with defending champions DIRECTV North East Stars against Digicel Pro League runner-up T&TEC FC in the quarter-final round from 8pm at Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, and two hours earlier (6pm) at the Marabella venue League champions W Connection are against bottom of the table St. Ann’s Rangers with the match-ups decided by positions finished in the League.

At the Hasely Crawford Stadium in other quarter-final match-ups, third positioned Caledonia AIA will take on seventh positioned Police FC from 6pm and fourth positioned Defence Force against last season’s finalist Adam’s Construction San Juan Jabloteh from 8pm.
