Team with best record from preliminary phase sent packing
‘Guinness Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Football Tournament
It was a case of a ‘bridge too far’ for Commacka United, the only team to have won all their preliminary matches prior to their encounter with a determined and focused Rough and Rugged unit who they faced in the Round of 16 in this year’s Linden segment of the ‘Guinness Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Football Tournament on Saturday evening, at the Wisroc / Amelia’s ward Bus Park.
Rough and Rugged goalscorer Jamie Wilson (with ball) attempts to dribble past a defender from Commacka United during their encounter on Saturday evening.
It was the first game of eight matches that were contested on a night of entertaining action witnessed by a capacity crowd that saw the usually efficient Commacka United team fall 2-0 to Rough and Rugged to make their exit out of the competition.
Jamie Wilson, who exhibited deft skills proved a thorn in the flesh of the opposition, scoring two wonderful goals to cause their elimination, while it gave them entry into the quarter-finals to be played tomorrow, at the same venue.
Wilson’s efforts came in the 2nd and 16th minutes of the game and were enough to initiate a hush among the Commacka United fans.
Amelia’s Ward Russians produced a similar gutsy performance to remove Amazing from the tournament after beating them 3-1 through goals off the boots of Shawn Daniels (1st), Terrence Aaron, who netted in the 2nd and 11th minutes, while Errol Davis (8th) strike had kept the contest alive at one stage.
Pokerburg then defeated Goal Getters 2-0 with Leon Gishard scoring a brace in the 10th and 12th minutes.
Pepper Skull then sent home Trainline Warriors via the penalty shootout route after their skirmish ended in a 0-0 stalemate after regulation time, while Sheriff Squad led by former national mid-fielder Collie Hercules sent El Dorado packing after a 2-0 win.
Hercules was on target in the 14th minute and he was supported by Colwin Davis’ strike in the 20th.
Retrieve Unknowns were recipients of a similar result against Top Class after their encounter ended 1-1 with Marvin Hartman’s (7th) minute effort giving the latter the lead, before Marcello Jansen equalized four minutes later.
Oswald Benjamin pair in the 6th and 12th minutes, along with a single goal from Randy Small in the 20th min handed Hard Knocks a comfortable 3-1 triumph against Star Boyz whose lone response came from Jermaine McBean in the 21st minute.
A double by Half Mile/ One Mile’s Seon Brewley in the (12th and 16th) was enough to give them an easy 2-0 victory over Classic Six.
