NB: from 1992-1997 the NBIC Championship was not held; the Carib League, which later became
      a championship for the regional FA's and their sub-associations, was considered the 
      national club championship;
    until the 1940s Georgetown FC (founded 1902) was the "premier football team in Guyana".
    in 1971 Thomas United were the first club from Guyana to enter the CONCACAF Champions Cup;
      it is not known whether they qualified as national champions or as champions of Georgetown 
      (or otherwise).
