Bragging Rights Street-Ball c/ships to start October 19

The Marriott Beach front, Kingston will come alive on October 19th, when the ‘Bragging Rights’ One Day Street-Ball Championship kicks-off.

The event which is being hosted by Marlon Jacobs, will witness 16 teams from various corners of Guyana, battling for prize monies in excess of $500,000. The event will conclude on October 21st.

“The idea is to fuse sports and entertainment and using something that is popular amongst the youths and football fans,” said Joseph.

“It’s all about being different. Sometimes you need to switch things up a bit. I wanted to bring an event that allow the top teams to play each other, but do so at an unusual venue. I think the location is perfect for this type of rivalry that will unfold,” he added.

The main sponsors of the tournament are Ansa McAl under the STAG Beer Brand and the National Sports Commission (NSC). Among the notable teams expected to compete are Sparta Boss, Gold is Money, Leopold Street, Back Circle and Broad Street.

The tournament is slated to be officially launched in the coming days, with the further details to be announced shortly.
