WITH only four teams remaining after the conclusion of the quarterfinal round, the semifinal stage in the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ West/East Bank Demerara edition will commence this evening at the Pouderoyen Tarmac.
In the opening semifinal fixture at 20:00 hours, Cayenne Massive will lock horns with defending champion Ballerz Empire.
Cayenne Massive have been in a clinical mood during the tournament, following commanding victories over ESPN and Family by 5-0 scores. On the other hand, Ballerz Empire have battled their way into the semifinals following a 2-1 victory over Sunshine Ballers and a 2-0 win over Epic Touch Family.

Meanwhile, the second semifinal fixture will pit Jetty Gunners against three-time champion Showstoppers at 21:00 hours.
Jetty Gunners secured their place in the semifinal section following wins over Pouderoyen Brothers and No Mercy by the identical 2-0 score.
On the other side, Showstoppers defeated Westside Ballers 2-0 and crushed Goal Getters 3-0 in their previous matches to send a strong warning to the field.

The resulting winners will advance to the final, while the losers will contest the third-place playoff. The tournament winner will secure an automatic berth to the national championship in September.
Travis ‘Zoti’ Bess, coordinator of the event, said, “The tournament has produced quality encounters with some unexpected results occurring, which highlights the ever-improving quality of the competing teams. We have two of the usual suspects in Showstoppers and Ballerz Empire in the semifinals and two teams who are relatively new to this stage, which boasts well for the growth of the tournament.”

“I expect another competitive and exciting night. The fans have been very receptive and supportive of the event, which is evident by the large and increasing turnouts since the event commenced two weeks prior. All systems are in place for an exciting conclusion as the teams vie for the opportunity to represent the zone at the national championship that is scheduled for September. Once again, I would like to thank the fans for coming out and supporting their respective teams, and we hope that continues throughout the event and until the conclusion of the event’s season.”
