All roads tonight will lead to the Burnham Basketball Tarmac, Parade Ground when the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Georgetown Zone continues with nine group matches.
According to a release from tournament coordinators Three Peat Promotions, the event “is off to a fantastic start, large crowds have swarmed the venues and we are expecting another mammoth viewership tonight to view the exciting matchups.”
Three Peat Promotions predicted massive crowds for the remainder of the tournament.
“At this rate we are expecting record turnouts for the remainder of the event given the response during the second day held at the Albouystown Tarmac. It has clearly justified the decision to take the event back into the communities, which is the foundation of the Championship,” the release stated.
In tonight’s opening clash, Gaza Squad will oppose Ol Skool Ballers at 19:00hrs, Albouystown-A will battle GTI Ballers at 19:15hrs and Leopold Street will tackle Bad-A-Yard from 19:30hrs.
