Leopold St beat Bent St to be crowned Georgetown champions of Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’
– Book spot in National C/ship
Georgetown champions of Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’, Leopold St collects their prize.
(Kaieteur News) – Leopold Street stamped their authority on the Georgetown leg of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ tournament on Friday, steam rolling Bent Street ‘B’ 4-1 in a dominant display to claim the title and a berth in the upcoming National Championship.
Before a capacity crowd at the Cultural Centre tarmac, Leopold Street’s experience proved the difference. While the atmosphere was electric and Bent Street entered the match with high hopes, they were ultimately unable to counter the tactical discipline and clinical finishing of their opponents.
Leopold Street’s championship run was defined by a relentless, militant defence and a shooting accuracy that consistently left the opposition, and their supporters stunned. By the final whistle, the 4-1 scoreline served as a clear testament to their superiority, earning the victors a cool $1 million cash prize and a spot in the National Championship, slated for May 8.

For Bent Street, the result was a bitter pill, but their efforts throughout the tournament were rewarded with $400,000 for their second-place finish.
Earlier in the evening, the undercard matches provided high drama. In the Plate final, Gold is Money and Festival City battled to a 1-1 deadlock in regulation time, with Festival City eventually prevailing 5-4 in a tense penalty shootout to claim the honours and a $200,000 prize, leaving the fourth-placed finishers with $100,000.
With the Georgetown zone now concluded, the focus shifts to the National Championship on May 8, where Leopold Street will face off against the top regional squads for the national crown.
