-Guinness Bar, Upper Level battle for $100,000
They are two teams that bring a large band of supporters and when they clash in the
final of this year’s ‘Guinness Greatest in the da Streets’ Futsal Tournament, it is certain that the noise that will emanate from the arena will be heard way back in their respective communities.
When West Front Road and Back Circle meet in the final for the $500,000 first prize cheque, Futsal fans could expect a frenetic and exciting battle between the two teams who both emerged from the same group in the preliminary rounds with the former topping the table on 9 points, while the latter ended in the runner-up spot with 6.
However, all those statistics are academic right now and it is a simple matter of which team plays better on the night.
In the KO stages of the competition, West Front Road’s route to the finals came via wins over Globe Yard in the Group of 16, Hope Street of Tiger Bay in the quarter finals and Alexander Village in the semi finals, while North Last Entrance fell prey to Back Circle in the KO group of 16, before they disposed of defending champions Broad Street B in the quarter finals and then outlasted a spirited Island All Stars in the semis.
Fittingly the competition’s leading goal scorers are Hubert Pedro on 7 goals from West Front Road, while he is closely marked by Andy Duke of Back Circle on 5 goals.
In the exhibition segment, Guinness Bar and Upper Level square off for a top prize of $100,000 and that too should produce some amount of fireworks as the two teams not only battle for the money, but bragging rights as well.
Eric Moses, Ronson Williams, Jermaine Fingal and Aarun Fraer are expected to play a key role for Upper Level, while Troy Mendonca and Odwin Hudson are the anticipated to lead the quest for victory for Guinness Bar.
