Guinness ‘Greatest of de Streets’ Futsal Competition…
Defending champs made to fight for win
Defending champions Back Circle was made to fight in their encounter against Norton Street West, before prevailing 2-1 as action in the Banks DIH-sponsored Guinness ‘Greatest of de Streets’ Futsal Competition continued on Thursday evening at the East Ruimveldt Basketball Court.
Before another capacity crowd, the homesters’ bouyed by the partisan support were the first to enter the scoresheet through inspirational player Andy Duke, who tapped in a neat pass from the left side that scurried across the goal area.
Three minutes after that, they were gifted an own goal after an opposing player in his attempt to clear a shot on goal could only watch in dismay as the ball ricochet off his foot and trickled into the goal.
Action in the clash between Globe Yard and Albouystown which the former won 1-0.
However, that only served to inspire them and they attacked relentlessly for their first goal and got it one minute into the second period when a clever piece of work from the left wing was nonchalantly hit into an empty goal by Nigel DeCamp stationed unnoticed on the back post.
The Norton Street side increased their forays and even managed to silence the home support, but stout defending by the champs kept them at bay before time expired.
Norton Street East created a bit of an upset when they squeezed past East La Penitence through a solitary strike off the boots of Radison George in the 6th minute.
Princess Street produced a stunning performance to clobber a clearly outclassed Laing Avenue 6-0 with Shevane Seaforth (17th and 20th) and Leon Grumble (26th and 27th), hitting in a brace apiece.
