Linden segment of Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ reaches KO stage

Apr 20, 2013 Sports

 

 

The knockout stages of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Competition in Linden is expected to commence this evening with eight matches, at the Wisroc Bus Park, starting from 18:00 hrs.
Following six nights of intense rivalry amongst the 32 teams, which saw defending champions TLC Shippings Russians, Coomacka United and Silver Bullets play unbeaten, the competition has now reached the stage where previous performances goes out the window and it is niw a question of which team performs better on the night.
The Russians backed their pre-tournament talk, by scoring seven goals while their defence ensured no one found the back of their net, as they topped Group H with a perfect 3 in 3 record, while being adjudged the Most Outstanding team.
Tonight they take on The Amazings who placed second in Group E on a better goal average and even though the former is regarded as the best team in the community in this particular format of the sport, they can expect a tough encounter.
In other matchups, Group ‘E’ winners Coomacka United take on Speightland United who finished second to TLC Shippings Russians in Group H and this game promises to be a sizzler.
Trainline Warriors, the second placed finishers of Group B face off against Group C runner-up Star Boys, in a clash that follows the TLC Shippings Russians versus The Amazings encounter.
Classic Six then do battle with Wisroc in a matchup of teams that finished second in Group A and D respectively.
Group D winners One Mile/Half Mile go into action against Group A winners Cherokee Park, while Hard Knocks who finished as the top team out of Group B square off against Silver Bullets, who topped Group C.
The night’s action culminates with Retrieve Unknowns who placed second in Group F, taking on the winners of Group G Mini Bus. To date, 92 games were played and 111 goals scored, with Classic Six’s Mario Batson leads the goals tally with five goals followed by Shawn Daniels (TLC Shippings Russians), John Waldron (Mini Bus) and Derwin Daw of Coomacka United with three goals each.
The quarterfinals will be contested next Saturday, semifinals two days later and finals on 1st May at the same venue and at stake is one year’s bragging rights and $600,000 for the top team, while the top two finishers earn a place in the national playoffs.
