Guinness Greatest of the Streets – West/East Bank
Kaieteur Sports – Defending champion Ballerz Empire, Showstoppers, West Side Ballers and Jetty Ballers advanced to the quarterfinals when the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ West/East Bank Demerara Championship commenced on Friday night at the Pouderoyen tarmac.
Ballerz Empire downed Sunshine Ballers 2-1 to send a strong message to the remaining participants. Solomon Austin and Adrian Alexander scored in the sixth and 22nd minute each. For the loser, Neron Barrow netted in the 25th minute.
On the other hand, three time former champion Showstoppers dispatched Goal Getters 3-0. Marvin Josiah scored in the seventh minute and then netted a GG in the 30th minute.
Likewise, Jetty Ballers downed No Mercy 2-0. Jermin Junior recorded the fastest goal of the event in the opening 30 seconds. He would then seal his brace in the 16th minute.
Also, Westside Ballers edged Boom Bang 1-0. Darrell Abrams scored in the fifth minute.
Meanwhile, Cayenne Massive was disqualified for fielding an ineligible player during their victory against ESPN after the latter lodged an official protest.
An investigation was launched by the tournament coordinator and at the conclusion, it was revealed that the player competed in the Georgetown zone which is an infraction of the rules, resulting in the disqualification of the team and a three year ban for the player.
The event resumes on Friday with the quarterfinal segment.
