Sparta boss complete three-peat

THROUGH rain and shine, Sparta Boss showcased its true potential to return as champions of this year’s Guinness Greatest of the Streets Georgetown leg after downing Tucville 1-0 last Friday night.

In front of a large crowd gathered at the National Park’s Tarmac, the defending champions were put to the test by the Tucville side which had its fair share of chances.
The lone goal came early off the boot of national forward Eusi Phillips in the second minute and that lone goal proved to be the decider of the evening.
Sparta missed several other opportunities to advance the lead as Tucville missed chances to level it up; with the skies blessing the proceedings minutes into the second half.

As the rains continued; the chances became more and more closer for both sides to score with Millington skewing one just above the goal and another just to the right of the post.
However, when the final whistle sounded Sparta had emerged champions, a third time for the Georgetown champions en route to possibly their third overall title.
With the win, Sparta will cart of $500,000 while their Tucville opponents will pocket $200,000.

In the third place play-off between Back Circle and Broad Street, penalty kicks needed to be employed to determine a winner after both regulation and extra time could not.

Both teams advanced cautiously, looking to exploit a flaw in the other’s tactics and while a few goal mouth scrambles were met with long clearances and sighs of relief, it only meant that the game would remain scoreless.

Two four minute periods of extra time also proved futile in the determination of a winner with the penalty kicks deciding that Back Circle would take the third place and Broad Street fourth.

Back circle will take home $150,000 and Broad Street $75,000.
There are also legs billed for the West Coast Demerara, West and East Coast Berbice, Linden and Bartica.
