MELANIE ‘B’ and Beterverwagting (BV) ‘A’ will contest the final of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Street’ East Coast Edition tomorrow with the winners set to pocket $300 000. 

The two sides reached the final following wins over Plaisance ‘A’ and Nabaclis respectively when the semi-finals were contested last Wednesday at the Haslington Market Square.
The crowd favourites, Melanie ‘B’, came from behind to win 3-2 against Nabaclis, while BV ‘A’ needed a lone goal to get past Plaisance.
Plaisance and Nabaclis will play in the third-place game where the winners will take home $100 000 and the losers $75 000.
Playing in the opening encounter, Melanie ‘B’ vs Nabaclis, the former got the go-ahead goal in the sixth minute from Amoniki Rogers who, after some fancy moves, got past his man to score in an empty goal.
Rickford Morrison equalised for Nabaclis in the 18th minute then took the lead four minutes later through Nicosi McCloud.
However, Rogers scored his second goal of the game; a back heel in the 23rd minute much to the delight of the massive Melanie crowd at the venue.
Anil Hernandez scored from the penalty spot for Melanie following a foul that was drawn by Rogers with Nabaclis being in the penalty.
Given a chance to equalise again and force the game into penalty kicks, Nabaclis’ penalty kick was taken by Akamo Jack following a foul on Melanie ‘B’, going wide of the goal.
In the second semi-final, Akin Curry’s lone goal in the 18th minute for BV ‘A’ was more than enough to see them through to face Melanie ‘B’ in the final.
The top two teams from the tournament will go on to represent the East Coast in the National Championship later on in the year, with a chance of representing Guyana at the Regional tournament.
Upon the completion of the event, the top two teams in the tourney will represent the Region at the national tournament scheduled to be hosted later in the year.
