A new champion will be crowned tonight in the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Linden edition after Dave and Celina All-Stars dethroned defending champs Team-25 2-0 in Thursday’s semi-final.

Staged at the New Silver City Tarmac, Keon Sears opened the scoring in the fourth minute, slotting a first time strike from the left side which struck the leg of the final defender and rolled into the back of the net.

Team 25 almost equalized in the 17th minute but Teon Stewart struck the right upright from the right side of the field with a powerful right foot shot.

Rawle Gittens nearly increased Dave and Celina’s lead
