West Demerara / East Bank Demerara Guinness Futsal Competition…Showstoppers make impressive start in title defence

Feb 05, 2017 Sports

-More action set for Tuesday

Defending champion Showstoppers made an impressive start to the defence of their title with a convincing 3-0 triumph over Small Panama on opening night of the 3rd Annual West Demerara / East Bank Demerara Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Competition, being played at the Pouderoyen Tarmac, West Demerara.

The reigning title holders were led to victory through strikes from Dexroy Adams (16th ) and Kayode King (20th ), while an own goal in the 7th had given them the lead early.

Also producing an effective display was Admiral United, who beat Speed Boat by a similar margin thanks to goals from Lexroy Manfield whose brace came in the 2nd and 5th minutes, while Emanuel Henry completed their tally with an 11th minute strike.

In the first game, Kurt Garnett (15th) and Andre Bernard (18th) efforts allowed Patentia Street Ballers to cruise to a 2-0 win over Raiders.

Bagotstown teams suffered mixed fortunes in their quest for top honours.

Bagotstown Warriors survived 1-0 in sudden death penalty shootout against Young Ballers after regulation time ended 0-0, while Bagotstown Ballers fell to Hustlers via a similar result following a 0-0 score-line in regulation time.

Meanwhile, action in the competition resumes Tuesday night with eight games, at the same venue.

The first two nights of the event will be contested in an elimination format, with the resulting 16 teams being divided into four groups of four.

At the completion of the group stage, the top two finishers from each will progress to the quarterfinal section.

The winning team will take home $450,000 and the championship trophy along with a spot in the National final.

The second, third and fourth placed teams will be rewarded with $150,000, $100,000 and $50,000 respectively.
