North East battles Gold is Money; Back Circle engages Lodge tonight

Perennial underachievers North East La Penitence eliminated Sparta Boss to seal their place in the semi-final round

North East La Penitence will oppose Gold is Money, while Back Circle will battle Lodge All-Stars in the semi-final round of the ‘Georgetown versus the Rest’ Street-ball Championship tonight, following respective quarterfinal wins on Tuesday evening.

Staged at the Back Circle tarmac in East Ruimveldt, North East La Penitence defeated Sparta Boss 2-0. Lennox Cort recorded a brace in the victory. Cort opened the scoring in the 10th minute, dribbling his marker before rifling his shot into the back of the net.

Cort’s second conversion in the 28th minute was fortuitous in nature, as his strike took a deflection, wrong-footing the final defender and nestling into the right corner.
