New Era Russians face Hard Knocks in dream final tonight

Mar 01, 2013 Sports

From the time the tournament begun last month, the two sides were heavily favoured to reach the finals and the pundits and supporters of the two sides were correct in their judgment that the two sides were the most superior of the 32 teams that contested the inaugural hosting of the tournament.
New Era Russians and Hard Knocks; two teams who demolished the rest of the competition easily to set up tonight’s dream finale in the Unique Entertainment/Banks Premium Beer Futsal Classic comes to an end.
It was the most talked about tournament to ever be played in Linden, being graced with hundreds of supporters on a nightly basis, with them being captivated by the high energy filled games as the players duel to see who will walk away with the $500,000 first prize.
The Russians who players under the New Era Entertainment umbrella, will look to their captain Travis Watterton who have not failed them so far in the competition, while their goal keeper Odell Allicock has been ‘brick wall’ in between the goals for his side.
Travis Grant, Dingo Green along with Dwayne ‘Uncle’ Charles are the other key players for the opposing New Era Russians.
But the most talked about team in the tournament, Hard Knocks, will be the Russians’ hardest opponents ever faced. Led by skillful John Waldron, Hard Knocks have devoured their opponents in dramatic fashion on course to the finals.
The hard hitting Randy Small along with the crafty Alister Johnson can cause some trouble for Allicock, providing that they can penetrate the defence of the Russians.
It’s a close call for anyone who would want to put a wager on his/her favourite but one thing for certain, the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court will be rocking tonight, leaving one to wonder if it would have enough space to hold the crowd anticipated for the great showdown.
Meanwhile, the third place play off between Silver Bullets (lost to New Era Russians) and Top Class will serve as a perfect appetizer to the epic anticipated finals.
While second place will go home with $300,000, third place finishers are set for to be rewarded with the $150,000 cash prize.
Banks DIH under their premium beer brand, will also be doing its nightly give-a-ways and its mentioned that for tonight’s finals, patrons will be heavily rewarded for the support shown to the tournament so far.
