Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition…Defending champs start defence against Ol Skool Balers
Defending Georgetown Zone champions of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition Sparta Boss will open up the defence of their title with a tough engagement against Albouystown-based Ol Skool Ballers in the final fixture on tonight’s round of matches, at California Square in East Ruimveldt.
The champs, who have been far from their best in recent competitions, will no doubt be aiming to start on a positive note and send an early signal of their intentions to all the other pretenders.
Flashback: Guinness Brand Manager Lee Baptiste (right) hands over the winning trophy and first prize to Sparta Boss Captain Devon Millington following one of their title wins.
Ten games are scheduled for this evening and another massive crowd is anticipated to kick off the Zone with a total of over $1million in prize monies and trophies up for grabs, while an automatic spot in the national playoffs is also part of the rewards for the winner.
The winner will walk-away with $500,000 and the championship trophy, while the runner-up, third and fourth placed finishers get $250,000, $200,000 and $100,000 respectively.
The winning team also have the assurance that the Organisers will undertake an enhancement project within the community that they are based.
The event which is set to continue tomorrow evening, at the same venue, is also being sponsored by Colours Boutique.
The tournament is being co-ordinated by Three Peat Promotions and the Organisers are imploring on all teams and supporters to continue to exhibit the usual high standard of discipline throughout the event.
