The opening night of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Linden Championship was one of upsets, as former champions Dave & Celina’s All-Stars and Amelia’s Ward Russians as well as contender, NK Ballers, incurred unlikely defeats on Wednesday.
The large crowd which descended on the Mackenzie Market Tarmac, witnessed several unlikely results, as Presidential defeated Dave & Celina’s 1-0 compliments of a Runic Velloza conversion in the fifth minute.
Amelia’s Ward Russians was another victim of an expected script, losing by an embarrassing 4-0 scoreline to Quiet Storm. Mark Richards was the architect of the lopsided fixture, as he recorded a hat-trick.
