Uprising rose to the occasion to clinch the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ East Coast Demerara competition after defeating Paradise-A 3-0 Saturday at the Haslington Tarmac.
It was a historic night for the Golden Grove-based Uprising outfit in front of the largest crowd to ever descend on the venue. The youthful side became the first team in the history of the tournament to win the championships as a qualifier.
They also hold the distinction of being the first team to claim the title from east of the venue, following victories by Plaisance-A [2013], Melanie-A [2014], Beterverwagting (BV)-A [2015], BV-B [2016] and Melanie-B [2017].
