DEFENDING champions Melanie-B, Liliendaal Hustlers and Old School secured quarter-final berths, following impressive wins when the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ East Coast Demerara zone commenced on Friday evening at the Haslington tarmac.

Witnessed by a large crowd after a two-year absence, two-time winners Melanie-B bested Portmore 2-0. Jermaine Gustav and Philip Williams scored in the 12th and 14th minutes respectively.

Likewise, Old School downed Uprising 5-1. Jahall Greaves recorded ‘Guinness Goals’ (a goal scored in the final three minutes counts as two), in the 19th and 20th minutes, while Travis Martin netted in the 14th minute.
For the losers, Shawn Adonis scored in the 16th minute. Up to press time, the quarter-final matches as well as the plate section of the tournament were underway.
