It was business as usual as three-time defending champions Showstoppers, inaugural winner West Side Ballers and ESPN secured victories on the opening night of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ West Demerara/East Bank Demerara championship.

Hundreds of fans swarmed the Pouderoyen Tarmac for the start of the ‘Street-ball’ season and were certainly not disappointed as home side Showstoppers downed Up-Like-7 by a 3-0 scoreline.

Dexroy Adams opened the scoring in the 11th minute following a scoreless first half, before Marvin Josiah recorded a ‘Guinness Goal’ [GG] [any goal scored in the final three minutes of regulation time and extra time, will be counted as two goals] in the 19thminute.
