Giant killers Leopold Street sets up final date with defending champs
Former ‘Golden Jaguars’ Konata Manning’s 19th minute penalty provided giant killers Leopold Street with the opportunity to play defending champs Back Circle for this year’s Banks DIH-sponsored ‘Guinness Greatest of de Streets’ title after they defeated a star-studded West Front Road unit 1-0 in semi-final action on Tuesday evening, at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac.
In the feature semi-final clash played before a capacity crowd, reigning champions Back Circle once again proved their worth as title holders when they fought off a gallant effort from Broad Street ‘B’ to make it back to the championship round on Saturday night, at the National Park.

They were led to victory through a solitary strike from Wayne Wilson in the 17th minute after being engaged in end to end action against a gallant Broad Street ‘B’ side that never relented.
The Leopold Street versus West Front Road affair was entertaining from the start as pre match favourites West Front Road, a team that characteristically takes their time to create build-ups, before suddenly squeezing passes to their strikers.
They, however, looked more purposeful from the beginning and had a few opportunities to score early on, but squandered them.
They same could be said of Leopold Street since they too had chances to take the lead, but failed to do so until Manning netted from the penalty spot.
Back Circle took advantage of another occasion to underline why they are the current champions with a further gutsy display after a bold performance from Broad Street ‘B’.
It took a neat piece of play by Wilson to register the only goal of the match.
In the two exhibition games, Guinness Bar squeezed past GT Masters 1-0 and in the battle of the Barber Shops, Upper Level and Clippers drew 1-1.
