Kendolph Lewis’ unerring accuracy helped Swag Entertainment retain their Linden ‘Guinness In The Streets’ football title with a heart-throbbing 2-0 win against Amazing when they clashed Saturday night at the Christianburg Hard Court.
It was a flashy display by the defending champion who, by virtue of this championship, earned the $300,000 prize and the right to represent Linden in the National Guinness In The Streets championship later this year.
For reaching the final and a hard-fought loss, Amazing won for themselves $200,000.
Goals off the boot of Lewis were registered in the 10th and 14th minutes; first from close range and the other a banging drive, being enough to see Swag get past a spirited effort by Amazing on a wet surface, which created challenges for the players in front of a large crowd.
The Christianburg-based Swag Entertainment staved off a spirited fight from their opponent as the final minutes would attest to.
In the third place playoff game, Silver Bullets got past DC Ballers 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 stalemate.
Earlier in the evening, Swag Boss eliminated Silver Bullets 5-1 in their second semi final game 5-1 while in the first, Amazing knocked out DC Ballers 1-0.
