JUST one round of preliminary matches remains before the Georgetown leg of the 2015/16 Guinness Greatest In Da Street Futsal Tournament enters the knockout stage. The Petra organised event competition continued on Tuesday night at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac which found teams claiming victories, one of which was the 2 – 1 win by Back Circle over Sparta Boss.
As they contested the final match of the evening, Sparta Boss drew first blood in the second minute when the consistent Sheldon Shepherd scored. Three minutes later the scores were levelled, thanks to the Back Circle stalwart Andy Duke.
As the match continued, Jermain Beckles gave the eventual victors their first match-lead in the tenth minute. But the Beckles goal was enough to give them the win as an equaliser proved too big a task for Sparta.
Upsetters continued to have a good run with a 2 – 1 win over South Sophia. Orlando Ricketts was successful in the fifth minute for Upsetters then two minutes later they were gifted with an own goal from the opposition. South Sophia managed to pull one back in the 16th minute when Ryan Oselmo struck but that was all before the Regulation Time whistle sounded.
Broad Street Bullies dimmed Gold Star in a 2 – 0 win as Devon Adams (7th) and Ryan Jones (13th) accounted for Broad Street’s goals. Young Ballers also recorded a win via the walkover route against Island All-Stars.
The other contested matches were Holmes Street Tiger Bay versus Stevedore Housing Scheme; Queen Street Tiger Bay versus Jamoon Drive; Bent Street versus South Ruimveldt; Festival City Street Fighters versus Shopping Plaza. These four matches ended as goalless draws.
The competition continues on Saturday at the Banks DIH, D’Aguair Park.
