NEW champions, Disconnection Crew were crowned after they defeated Goal-Raiders in the final of the Bartica Zone of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ competition while Almanac Kings defeated BLB in the third place playoff.

Disconnection Crew had Elcio Oliveira to thank as he scored the solitary goal of the game; a beauty in the sixth minute.

Oliveira’s goal was created by Clint Kellman who passed from the right side. He placed a first time finish perfectly through the legs of the final defender into the roof of the net to spark celebrations from his teammates and supporters.

However, that would be the only goal of the game as Goal-Raiders found it difficult to penetrate the Disconnection Crew’s back line.

After regulation time failed to separate Almanac Kings and BLB Squad at 2-2, penalty kicks were needed and the Kings held their nerves to run out 2-1 winners from the spot.

Earlier in normal time, Ricardo Perreira struck twice in the sixth and 14^th minutes to put the Kings ahead, but Jade Huggins equalized with a Guinness Goal (worth two) in the closing minutes to send the game to extra time.

En route to the finals, Disconnection Crew had beaten BLB Squad 1-0 while Goal-Raiders were victorious over Almanac Kings from the penalty spot after drawing 2-2 in normal time.

Disconnection Crew will head to Demerara for the national playoffs which are set to be staged on July 27 and August 1, at the Pouderoyen Tarmac and Haslington Market Square respectively, while the final will be played on August 4, at the National Stadium, Providence.
