West Front Road, North East La Penitence, East Front Road and Old School Ballers secured berths to the knockout stage when the final group round in the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Georgetown Championship concluded on Saturday.  A near hour-long concert by Natural Black at the mid-way point of the night did not blunt the ensuing confrontations as West Front Road-Gold is Money stormed their way into the knockout stage, eliminating Alexander Village by a 2-0 margin at the Demerara Park Tarmac.

Hubert Pedro opened the scoring in the 14th minute, rifling a powerful right-sided effort into the lower left corner. Sibling Randolph Wagner then completed the win in the 20th minute, placing his right-footed shot into the left corner after collecting a left-sided pass on the right side of the field.

Meanwhile, North East La Penitence survived a late fight back from Albouystown-A to win 4-3,
