In front of a mammoth crowd at the Haslington Tarmac, Sparta Boss, Uprising, Plaisance and North East La Penitence clinched their respective berths to the knockout round when the Guinness Cage Street-ball championships continued on Saturday.

 In what was virtually elimination matches for the aforesaid foursome witnessed by a rabid and partisan gathering, national heavyweight Sparta Boss resisted the taunts of the viewership to defeat home side Haslington Hypers 2-0 in a bruising and exciting affair.

 Once again the talented Jermin Junior was the main threat for the Georgetown giant, bagging a significant brace in the fourth and ninth minute.
