With the opening night of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ East Coast Demerara edition penciled for April 12th, the official date for the Playoff round will be Sunday at the Haslington Tarmac.
This was revealed by the coordinators, Three Peat Promotions. The registration process for the tournament concludes tomorrow with team forms available at the Guinness Bar Plaisance location. They also can be acquired by calling 644-6585.
To date eight teams have already sealed their places in the main draw. They are defending champion Uprising, Paradise-A, BV-A, Melanie-B, Buxton Diamond, Mahaica Determinators, Victoria Church Yard and Belfield Warriors.
Eight other teams will join the aforementioned group following the conclusion of the playoffs. The three day event will end on the 22nd, with second night of play scheduled for the 13th.
According to a release, “Once again, the Organisers have planned a programme that is certain to make the fan experience a memorable one along the East Coast corridor and those hoping to get a glimpse of what has become the most electrifying outdoor event in the sport.”
The correspondence added, “The early word emanating out of the respective communities that will be competing in the three-day competition is that defending champions Uprising will not have it easy this time around since teams have already begun preparations to challenge for the title.
“However, the reigning champs who had to qualify last year and subsequently became the only team to do so and win the title outright, have vowed to successfully defend their crown”, the release concluded.
