Reach for Greatness survived a late surge by Full out Image to win the Guinness sponsored one-day street football competition held at Post Office Street, Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara last weekend.
A first half double from Reon Hopkinson set the platform for Reach for Greatness victory which saw them claiming the first prize of $70,000, the losers pocketing $30,000. Kevin Trotman pulled one back for Full out Image.
The large and appreciative crowd were treated to an exciting final which crowned a day of equally high octane rivalry in the 12 team knock-out competition, organised by DJ Breeze of King Scorpion Sounds and Fitzroy Weever. Taking the 3rd place was Late Arrival and will receive one Guinness hamper for their efforts.
