(Flashback)- Part of the action in the East Coast Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition.
Defending champion Melanie B will commence the defence of their title with a tricky engagement against Buxton B as action in the East Coast Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition kicks off tomorrow night, at the Haslington Tarmac.
They play in the penultimate game of eight scheduled matches and the Organisers are confident that the venue will be filled with fans in support of their respective teams, all based along the villages on the East Coast Demerara.
In the opening fixture, former champion Plaisance A tackle Belfield Warriors and this encounter is anticipated to provide the perfect start for the night’s proceedings.
