Swag Entertainment reclaimed their stranglehold and top honours in this year’s Linden Guinness In The Streets Football title, by disposing of defending champions Silver Bullets in last Saturday night’s final at the Retrieve Hard Court.

Swag Entertainment was able to break free of their opponents who had ousted them in the quarterfinals stage last year, when Allan Halley struck the decisive Guinness Goal in the 18th minute.

That goal, counted as two, saw the three time winners claim their fourth title, a winners’ trophy and $500,000.
Halley had opened the scoring for Swag Entertainment in the 25th minute when they defeated YMCA in one semifinal, and added two more via a Guinness Goal netted in the 29th minute.

He was later named the Most Valuable Player of the final.

Silver Bullets reached the final when they eliminated DC Ballers 3-0 in the other semifinal match of the night.
Jermaine Samuels who scored in the 19th minute and Amaniki Buntin in the 26th minute, were the men responsible for the win by the Bullets.
Bullets, for placing second got $400,000.

In the third-place playoff game worth $300,000, YMCA emerged victorious as they defeated DC Ballers 3-0.
The scorers were Kevin Gittens in the 4th minute, Kymani Price the 16th minute, and Jamal Bentick in the 19th minute. DC Ballers earned $250,000 for their efforts.

Playing among the losing quarterfinalist for the Plate Game winners, Spaniards were winners over Turf President and received $60,000.

The winners Swag Entertainment have now qualified to represent Linden in the National Guinness Greatest In The Street Championship final, which will be held in Georgetown later this year.
