On a night that featured wins for 2013 titlist Plaisance-A and 2014 champion Melanie-A, 2015 winner Beterverwagting (BV)-A was dumped from the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ East Coast leg, losing 2-1 on sudden death penalty kicks to Top-7.

With the score locked 1-1 at the end of regulation time at the Haslington Market Tarmac on Wednesday night, the unfancied and youthful Top-7 outfit prevailed as, they netted two of their four shots from the mark, while BV-A could only score once from their allotment.

Prior to the unexpected conclusion, Phillip Williams gave Top-7 the initial lead in the 12th minute, while Delroy Dean equalized in the 18th minute.
