Silver Bullets beat Georgetown’s Tucville 2-0 via a penalty shootout triumph in their first game after their clash ended 1-1 in regulation, before returning to squeeze past Melanie ‘B’ 1-0 in quarter-final action with Damian Williams’ 19th minute strike, making the difference.
They now await the outcome of next Friday’s round of matches which will be staged at the Pouderoyen Market Tarmac on the West Demerara.
The semi-finals and final will be held at Demerara Park, Thirst Park.
The winning team will receive $550,000 and the coveted trophy, runners-up$300,000 and trophy, while third and fourth placed finishers will take home $200,000 and $100,000 respectively.
