Led by a pair of goals off the boots of Darrel George in the 6th and 17th minutes of play Retrieve Unknowns beat Ituni 3-0 to advance further in this year’s Banks DIH/Linden Guinness ‘Greatest of De Streets’ Futsal Competition which continued on Thursday evening, at the Mackenzie Bus Park.

The Amazings also got past Constabulary 1-0 through Jermaine Fordyce’ 8th minute strike shortly before the Guinness half time break.
After the resumption, Scheme sent One Mile/Half Mile packing following a solitary goal from Andre Chester which came in the 8th minute, before Eagles through goals from Yohan Simon (6th) and Rena Carter 13th eased past Attackers 2-0.
Speightland then edged Bloomersdale Russians, courtesy of a Calvin Allicock goal in the 7th minute.
In the final game, Silver Bullets continued their merry run with a 2-1 triumph over Star Boyz’ thanks to Colwin Drakes (14th) and Robin Adams (22nd) single strikes.
Jermaine Grandison’s 10th minute goal had given Star Boyz the ascendancy, before Drakes and Adams’ efforts erased their advantage.
Meanwhile, at stake in the competition is $400,000, one year bragging rights and a place in the national playoffs with the winner to be declared as Guyana’s representative in the Caribbean ‘Guinness Greatest of De Streets’ tournament set for Trinidad and Tobago in June.
