Rescheduled from its initial start date of May 10th due to a torrential downpour that made the playing surface unsafe, the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Linden Championship will commence tonight at the Silver City Hard-court.
Three-time defending champion Swag Entertainment will lock horns with ABG in the opening match at 19:00hrs, while Coomacka will oppose Fearless at 19:40hrs. Hi-Flyers will then take aim at the Spaniards at 20:20hrs in the third fixture, with Excuse the Rush battling Tidal Wave in at 21:00hrs.
In the final two matches, Hardball will match skills with the Universal Ballers at 21:40hrs, while the Super Strikers will take aim at the Young Gunners at 22:20hrs.
The event will continue on Friday at the same venue with another round of matches. V-Side and High Rollers will commence the night’s proceedings at 19:00hrs, while the BB Ballers and Turf President will take centre stage at 19:40hrs.
In the third encounter, Top Strikers will face off against Double 6 at 20:20hrs, while One Side will tackle the DC Ballers at 21:00hrs.
In the fifth fixture, Amoria opposes the Silver Bullets at 21:40hrs while YMCA engages the Assassa Ballers at 22:20hrs.
The winner of the tournament will walk away with $500,000 and the championship trophy. They will also earn an automatic berth to the national championship, which is pencilled for August in Georgetown.
Meanwhile, the second, third, and fourth-place finishers will pocket $400,000, $300,000, and $250,000 apiece and the corresponding accolade. The tournament is also sponsored by Colours Boutique, who have provided the playing kits for the entirety of the season.
