… Massive outpouring anticipated

THE community support has always been there and three-time West Side champions Showstoppers have never taken it for granted; so what they did was to hone their skills perfectly to ensure that success, and not disappointment, is the reward for such overwhelming support.

Undoubtedly the most dominant team in the West Demerara/East Bank Demerara Zone of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ competition, Showstoppers will go face-to-face with Brothers United for the coveted trophy and $500 000 for the winners, this Friday, at the Pouderoyen market tarmac.

Already Showstoppers are a very potent force that no team have been able to dethrone for the past three years. The acquisition of national player Trayon Bobb has added even more firepower to a frontline that possesses the likes of Stephon Jupiter, Marvin Josiah and Dexroy Adams, all prolific goalscorers.

The champs have also shown that they are not afraid of a dogfight even though opposing teams – so afraid of their goal-scoring might – employ robust defensive strategies in an attempt to send the game into penalty shootouts, Showstoppers still found a way to penetrate their defence.

However, Brothers United with former national player Andrew Murray Jr in their lineup is a team with a difference.
They love to be on the offensive and this open play style could provide fans with an explosive and exciting finale.

Murray Jr has been the bright spark for the team, but there are other players who could steal the show on the night.

Another massive outpouring of spectators is expected to converge on the venue and the organisers once again will have giveaways for them.

Meanwhile, Up-Top-Bosses and Ballers Empire will meet in the third-place playoff.
Up for grabs is over $1.1 million in total prize moneys, with the winners set to receive $500 000, runner-up $250 000, while third- and fourth-place finishers will take home $200 000 and $100 000 respectively along with trophies.
