North East La Penitence will face off against Back Circle in the final of the inaugural ‘Georgetown versus the Rest’ Street-ball championship following semi-final wins on Thursday evening.

Staged at the Back Circle Tarmac in East Ruimveldt, the home side defeated the Lodge All-Stars 2-1. Simeon Moore gave the home side the lead in the ninth minute with a first-time strike from the left side of the field, which sailed through the legs of the final defender and settled into the back of the net.

Moore then made his presence felt once more in the 13th minute, doubling his team’s lead with a back-heeled shot from outside the left of the penalty area that rolled into the left corner.
