Played before a large turnout in overcast conditions, Main Street Panthers, Future Stars, Royal Youths, Classic-6, Eagles, High Rollers, Half Mile / One Mile and Constab, all made it to the Round of 16 of the Linden segment of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Competition which opened on Friday evening, at the Mackenzie Market Tarmac.
Part of the action on opening night of the Linden segment of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Competition.
This year’s competition which is being played on a straight knockout basis saw Main Street Panthers ambush Cherokee Park 2-0 through goals from Chris Bowling and Kevin Kennedy in the fifth and 18th minutes respectively.
Royal Youths easily disposed of Trainline Warriors by a 4-0 margin with Denzil Pryce starting the rut in the second minute of play following a tap in from the left side.
In the sixth minute, Kwesi Tafawa made it 2-0 when he fired into the goal from the left side of the area. Pryce returned to complete a brace after fourteen minutes after being left unchallenged in the goal area from a pass from the back, before Franklyn Lewis completed the score-line with a sweet finish in the 16th minute.
Classic-6 made light work of Trendsetters, beating them 3-1 with Shane Luckie in the sixth and 10th minutes, and Colwyn Drakes screamer in the 12th giving them a comfortable 3-0 lead, before Trendsetters Tafon Alexander responded in the 17th minute to add a little respectability to the score-sheet.
Future Stars squeezed past Speightland 2-1 in penalty kicks after normal time ended 1-1.
Roy Cornelius gave Speightland the initial lead in the 11th minute, tapping in from the left side, after racing to a pass from the right side.
However, five minutes later Future Stars responded through Jeshawn Moore, who hammered a fierce right footer into the goal.
Eagles coasted to an easy 3-0 win over Unruly Shots with Delon Charter leading the way with a double in the fourth and 16th minutes, while Benny Neblett netted in the 12th minute.
High Rollers edged Coomacka 3-2 through a treble from Omar Brewley in the third, fifth and ninth minutes, while Joel Rawlings and Dorwin Daw made it a tight tussle after scoring in the sixth and 10th minutes respectively for Coomacka.
Constab beat Scheme 1-0 on penalty kicks after normal time ended 2-2. Ivor and Daquan Wilson scored in the third and seventh minutes apiece for Constab, while Nantambu Akbar scored for Scheme in the fifth and eighth minutes.
Half Mile/One Mile secured a spot in the next round by virtue of a walkover from Exodus.
Action in the event was slated to continue last evening at the same venue.
The winning team will walk away with $400,000 and the championship trophy, while the runner-up takes home $150,000 and a trophy.
The third and fourth placed finishers will receive $75,000 and $50,000 respectively.
Shortly before the start of play, the teams were introduced to Linden Branch Manager Shondel Easton, Brand Supervisor Shawn Grant and tournament coordinator Caeron Sealey.
