‘Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ West/East Bank Demerara
Following the conclusion of the round of 16 segment, the ‘Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ West/East Bank Demerara Championship will resume tomorrow evening at the Pouderoyen Tarmac with the quarterfinal section.
The fixture encounter will pit newcomer Pouderoyen Brothers against the formidable Jetty Gunners outfit at 20:00hrs. Meanwhile, in the second fixture, ESPN, who advanced due to Cayenne Massive fielding an ineligible player, will face off against Team Family of Mocha at 21:00hrs.
The third fixture will witness three-time winner Showstoppers matching skills with inaugural champion Westside Ballers at 22:00hrs. In the final match at 23:00hrs, defending champion Ballerz Empire will lock horns with dark horse Epic Touch Family.
Tournament Coordinator Travis ‘Zoti’ Bess said, “Last Friday night turnout was the biggest so far for a first night in the West/East Bank Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ football tournament, and I’m hoping that more fans come out on this Friday night to support their respective teams/villages in the quarterfinals. So far, the quality of some teams has improved from last year. For example, the Pouderoyen Brothers beat Up Like-7 by a 5-1 score and will be making their first appearance in the quarterfinals of the tournament, which can only boost their conference going forward.”
He further said, “My expectation going forward is not only to have a large turnout but to also see top-level football from the teams/village that remains in the tournament. We are looking to have the exhibition games start like 7:30 and will be played for 20 minutes (10 minutes a half). Then we will go into the quarterfinal matches, which will be played for 20 minutes and a half (40 minutes) per match. If scores are level, we go to extra time of 5 minutes and a half (10 minutes).”
