Legacy meets hunger in uncompromising Leopold St, Bent St final
Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ decides Georgetown champions tonight
A packed crowd is expected tonight at the National Cultural Centre tarmac as the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ decides its Georgetown quota for the National Championship.
Kaieteur Sports – Former champions Leopold Street stormed into the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Georgetown Zone final after a commanding semifinal performance on Wednesday evening, brushing aside New Bay Ballers in emphatic fashion. They now set up a highly anticipated showdown against Bent Street ‘B,’ who also secured their place with a hard-fought victory.
With pride, history, and ambition all on the line, the final is shaping up as a classic clash between legacy and rising hunger.
Leopold Street, one of the competition’s most storied teams, underlined their pedigree with a ruthless 6–0 demolition of New Bay Ballers. Bent Street ‘B,’ meanwhile, continued their impressive run with a tense 1-0 win over Island All-Stars, showcasing discipline and tactical awareness to reach their first-ever Guinness final.

Anticipation is building for what is expected to be one of the largest finals in the tournament’s history. Adding to the excitement, organisers will distribute approximately two million dollars in prizes at the end of the night, further raising the stakes for all teams involved.
While the championship clash will headline proceedings, both finalists have already secured qualification for the National Championship, set for May 8 at the same venue.
Before that, attention will turn to the crucial third-place playoff, where Island All-Stars and New Bay Ballers will battle for the final qualifying spot to the national stage. With everything to play for, this encounter carries significant weight.
The action will also extend to the Guinness Plate Tournament semifinals. Gold is Money will face Sparta Boss, while National All-Stars take on Festival City, with both winners advancing to the Plate Final later in the evening.
With high intensity expected across all matches, major incentives on offer, and a packed atmosphere anticipated, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to weeks of electrifying street football.
The Georgetown Championship will culminate today, Friday, May 1, at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac on Hadfield Street, where Leopold Street and Bent Street ‘B’ will battle for Guinness glory.
