-Ready to defend title
Word out of the Mining Town, is that the Amelia’s Ward Russians are prepared
and ready to launch a concerted effort that will lead them to victory against any opponent in this year’s Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Football Tournament which is scheduled to commence on Sunday, at the Wisroc / Amelia’s Ward Bus Park.
After suffering defeat by Retrieve Unknowns in the quarter finals last year, the Russians have embarked on extensive preparatory work that sources close to the team unanimously agreed will assure them victory on this occasion.
They stated that they have been involved in relentless training to achieve a high level of fitness, since big names don’t win games, but fitness, agility and goals.
In a release, the Russians were adamant that this time around it will be a different result since their thorough preparations will assure them victory.
Also, making a bold prediction was The Sheriff squad that boastfully forecasted winning the title, adding that all their forces are inline to arrest and bring to justice any team.
The source said whoever is in their way will be eliminated be it the Russians, Eagles, Retrieve Unknowns, Attackers, or Hardknocks.
Oozing with confidence, a spokesperson for The Sheriff team said that losing is not possible since they have regrouped and have in their attack the ‘Hitman’, who is capable of hitting his target from any distance, and ‘the Brain’ Kwesi Johnson, who is a master planner of orchestrating all attacks.
“With ‘the Hitman’ and master planner Johnson in the line-up to bolster the squad, winning is inevitable,” the source stated.
Despite, all the early forecasts, the defending champs lay in wait as kings to remove all would be pretenders to their throne and even without resorting to make forceful responses seems to be enjoying their reign as the kings of the Futsal format in the Linden community.
Whatever, the forecasts, the champs are relishing the opportunity to do it all over again and those in pursuit of their throne are being advised not to take them lightly even after one year.
“Bold predictions will not intimidate us and we will be ready to defend our title,” the source said.
With all that being said, right now from the home to the streets the buzz in the community is all about Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’.
The first match which kicks off at 18:00 hrs will be preceded by an Opening Ceremony from 17:30 hrs.
