IT was a blowout final as Dave and Celina’s all-star clobbered Swag Entertainment 5-0 to take the Linden title of the Colours/Guinness Greatest of the Streets Football Sub-meet on Saturday evening.
From the get go, the eventual champions looked the fiercer side, adopting a mixture of build-up and quick break plays to control the play for most of the evening on end.
It would be Kenard Simon however who would open the scoring in the 6th minute before Keon Sears added the second just two minutes later.
By half-time, the All-stars were coasting and firmly in control of the match, with their ‘Swag’ opponents chasing the game.

However, on the restart, there were several close chances for the Swag side to open their account and level up the game, none of which however were able to materialise.
The only time the ball found the back of the nets was when the All-stars put it there.
Kennard Simon would again score on the return (25th and 26th) minutes to complete his hat-trick before slotting in his fourth goal and the team’s fifth of the evening to ensure that there were no doubts about the winners.
For their win, Dave and Celina’s All-Stars pocketed $400,000 with second placed Swag Entertainment taking home $200,000
In the third place play off, Jermaine and Family Silver Bullets were too much for the team 25 to handle, winning 2-0.
Robin Adams (10th) and Jermaine Samuels (35th) ensured that the side finished third for the $100,000 prize with the Team 25 getting $50,000 dollars.
The four teams will now move onto the National tournament set for later this year.
