Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Competition…Leopold Street in a struggle to make next round

Dec 07, 2013 Sports

 

Defending Georgetown Zone champions Leopold Street suffered their second loss in this year’s competition after going down to Costello Housing Scheme 3-2 on penalty kicks on Thursday evening as play in the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Competition continued, at the Burnham Court on Middle and Carmichael Streets.
The loss means that the 2012 champions are in a struggle to make it to the next phase with two more rounds to play.  It was a disappointing defeat for the champs after regulation time ended 1-1 forcing the penalty shootout.
O’Kenie Fraser had given Leopold Street the lead after just three minutes, before Sherman Anthony levelled in the 14th minute of play in an exciting contest that stayed that way until the end.
Andrew Murray Jnr then led Albouystown ‘A’ to a comfortable 2-0 win over South Sophia with Shaka Jones’ 24th minute effort completing their tally.
In the other upset of the night, Island All Star Alpha McPhoy’s 3rd minute strike was enough to secure them victory over West Front Road ‘Gold is Money’.
Queen Street of Tiger Bay then eased past Norton Street East after Cross Street had succumbed to East Front Road in the opening fixture.
