North Ruimveldt took a different route to that of Ol Skool Ballers after inflicting a 7-1 hammering on a Brazilian combination to advance to the round robin phase of the inaugural Street Vybz Entertainment Futsal Competition which continued Saturday night, at the National Gymnasium.
Appearing in the third of eight scheduled games, the star-studded North Ruimveldt showed little mercy on their Brazilian counterparts with Joshua Browne and Gerald Gritten leading the way with a brace apiece, while Travis Grant, Kacy John and Ryan Hackett completed their tally with a goal each.
Wellinson’s solitary strike was the lone response for the Brazilians.
However, it was a night to remember for teams from the Mining Town of Linden that saw all three of their teams in the competition progress to the next stage following victories.
First, Swag Entertainment gained a walkover from Beterverwagting (BV), before Silver Bullets outlasted a strong North East La Penitence unit 6-4 in a fascinating encounter.
Their win was followed by the No.1 team in Linden Dave & Celena All Stars’ emphatic 6-2 triumph over an outclassed West Back Road side.
Other winners on the night included Future Stars, who benefitted from a walkover from Campbellville, Tucville that beat Agricola Champion Boys in a penalty shootout after their clash ended in an exciting 2-2 draw, while Albouystown ‘A’ and Back Circle also won.
The tournament has over $1.2million in prize monies and trophies up for grabs with the winner set to receive $700,000, runner-up $250,000 and 3rd and 4th placed finishers $150,000 and $100,000 respectively.
There will also be prizes for MVP and Highest Goalscorer.
