OVER 40 teams collided in fast-paced action when the qualifiers for Georgetown Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ were played on Friday night on Burnham Court at Middle and Carmichael Streets.

All communities of Georgetown were well represented and the most notable teams to qualify on the night were LA Ballers, John Street from the Kitty area and Berlin.

With the qualification phase of the Championship now over, the ‘real deal’ will now take centre stage with fixtures set for Friday (July 12) and Saturday (July 13) evenings.

Those two nights will see teams play in elimination matches with the subsequent winners advancing to the group stage. Thereafter the top two teams in each group will progress to the quarter-final stage while the losers will have a chance to win a cash prize in the ‘Plate’ section of the Championships.
