… West Bank, Georgetown legs next week

THE best 16 teams in five zones will meet inat three different destinations as part of the 2017 National finals of the Colors/Guinness Greatest of the Street Football tournament set to begin shortly.
The finals, a three-night affair where the best of the best meet, will begin in Linden on July 8 then head to Pouderoyen for the second night on July 14 and then move to Demerara Park the following evening.

According to Guinness Brand manager Lee Baptiste, the idea behind this is to ensure that everyone gets a piece of the pie.
“Over a three-period, the public will witness the best of the best battle to see which team is made of more in the National Championships,” Baptiste said.
“This shows Banks DIH’s commitment under the Guinness brand to spread community development through sports; hence the special efforts made to take the National Finals to different parts of the country,” he added during yesterday’s press conference.

Baptiste said that this year featured the most teams in the tournament so far, with teams becoming more organised as the competition rolls into their zones.
Four Georgetown teams will join three each from Linden, East Coast and West Coast of Demerara, two from Berbice and one from Bartica in the National Finals.
They are New Amsterdam Kings, Swag Entertainment, East Bank Gunners, Tucville, Plaisance B, Show Stoppers, the Money Team, Back Circle, Melanie B, Buxton Diamond, Dave and Celina all Stars, Silver Bullets, Broad Street Ballers Riverview, Sparta Boss and Hustlers.
