DEN Amstel, Admiral United, Pouderoyen Showstoppers, Raiders, West Side Ballers and Patentia Street Ballers were the latest teams to record victories when action in the Guinness Greatest of the Street ‘West Side’ Edition football tournament continued on Tuesday evening at the Pouderoyen Tarmac.

Watched by a mammoth crowd; even greater than that of the opening night last Friday, the players did not disappoint as they competed for the tournament’s $300 000 first place prize.
Den Amstel Football Club fixed themselves as one the top teams, favoured to win the inaugural tournament with a 2-1 win over Showtime in what was named one of the night’s most exciting match-ups.
Delon Lanferman put the eventual winners in the lead in the 5th minute but five minutes later Mark Boyce equalised for Showtime.
Both sides came close to scoring, but it was Kester Dundas who, in the 18th minute, scored the game winner for Den Amstel.
Admiral United also secured a 2-1 win over Uitvlugt on penalty kicks. The two sides had ended regulation play 1-1 thanks to goals from Admiral United’s Devon Jansen (3rd minute) and Uitvlugt’s Owen McGarrell (12th minute).
It took sudden-death penalty-shootout to see Pouderoyen Showstoppers win 3-2 over Jetty, thanks to a scoreless regulation.
The sixth matchup of the night saw Pouderoyen Showstoppers squeak past Jetty 3-2 on sudden-death kicks, after normal time ended 0-0. The opening round of spot-kicks failed to separate the two teams as both sides missed from the mark.
Raiders joined the night’s winning teams with a 2-1 win against Majee Street. Adrian Birch and Sean Swan were the scorers for Raiders and Majee’s long strike came from Morvin Henry.
Demerara Speedboat’s woes in the tournament continued as the team suffered another angonising defeat – this time at the hands of Patentia Street Ballers, 4-3 on penalty kicks after finishing nil-all in regulation.
Brothers United, the team who won the very first game of the tournament were beaten 2-1 by De Kinderen Village and Golden Stars defeated Vergenoegen All-Stars 2-1. In the other results, West Side Ballers defeated Samaroo Dam 3-1
Meanwhile, Vergenoegen Rice Mill Tarmac will host tonight’s final round group fixtures, with eight games set to be played with a 19:30hrs kick off. (Rawle Toney)
