Kaieteur Sports – Now that the thirty-two teams have been revealed those making the list could now focus on their preparations for this year’s Georgetown Zone of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition which is set to kickoff on March 15, at the National Park.

The teams making the cut are: Alexander Village, Sparta Boss, Albouystown, Sophia, North Ruimveldt, Leopold Street, Back Circle, North East La Penitence, Tiger Bay, Gold is Money, Stabroek Ballers, Festival City, Broad Street, Unstoppable, Bent Street, California Square, Lodge All Stars, Stabroek Ballers B, Bent Street Young Gunners, Bad A Yard, Up Top Boss, Laing Avenue Ballers, Street Ballers, Sophia B, Make It Happen, Ballers FC, Renegade All Stars, Airport Ballers, Rising Stars, Back Road Ballers, Tucville Rangers and Middle Road Ballers.

Returning after an unavoidable hiatus, the Organisers are pulling out all the stops to ensure that the hugely popular tournament makes a triumphant re-entry to the football arena.

Lucrative prize monies and trophies totalling more than $1.5 million, while an automatic berth in the national final is assured.

Guinness Brand executive, Lee Baptiste speaking recently said because of the tournament’s absence for a prolonged period, they are just as excited and anxious as the teams and fans to see the unrivalled tournament make its return to the sports calendar.

“We are hoping that the tournament enjoys an exciting return, and it is played with the same level of discipline and keen rivalry that fans became accustomed to in previous years,” Baptiste said.

He revealed that to this end they have been planning meticulously to ensure that teams, management staff and fans who come out to the event have a great time, a feature that is usually associated with the tournament.

The other playing days are March 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 and 30 with the final set for the 31st.
