Seventeen goals scored on opening night of Bartica leg

SEVENTEEN goals were scored on the opening night of the Guinness Greatest of the Streets Football Tournament’s opening night of the Bartica leg.
In the first game, Almanac Kings needed a 2-1 penalty result to decide their fate against Times Square after being tied earlier at two goals apiece.
Almanac had Don Lam and Ricardo Perreira on target in the 3rd and 5th minute and looked on course for the win but King’s Cyprian Collison (12th) and Rondell Calender (23rd) turned the tides.

Game two also required penalties to adjudge Campbellville 2-1 winners over Street Kings.
Street kings had Elijah Fraser (5th) and Shameer Mentore (15th) on target as Campbellville recovered and drew level through Kelvin Isaacs (20th) and Marvin Bamfield (26th).
Game three was smooth sailing for River View who overcame Lotto Arcade 3-1, thanks to strikes from Romario Lake (7th), Steven Edwards (15th) and Andel Norton (30th), while the losers had Mclean Pickett on target in the 25th

Roderick Hamilton (18th) and Mark Boyce (33rd) ensured that Police overcame Beacon One Love 2-1 in game four with Randy Adams scoring the losing side’s only goal.
Plantain Slice’s only goal from Shawn Dash was enough to give them a 1-0 win over Young Guns in game five, while All Stars had the same scoreline win against Beacon Die Hard, thanks to Ryan Scott in the 28th.
The winner will advance to represent the mining community in the grand finals billed for next month, featuring the top zone teams from Georgetown, East Coast Demerara, Linden, Berbice West Demerara/East Bank Demerara.
