Defending champion Silver Bullets got off to the worst possible start in the defence of their Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Linden Championship, losing 0-4 to Retrieve Unknown on Friday.
Shaquille Alexander had a night to remember at the Silver City Hard-Court, silencing the largely partisan crowd with a clinical helmet-trick.
The diminutive attacker recorded two goals in the sixth and 12th minute, before tallying a ‘Guinness Goal’ [GG] [any goal scored in the final three minutes counts as two] in the 19th minute.
Similarly, former champion Dave and Celina’s All-Stars was another high profile side to incur a defeat going down 2-1 on penalty kicks to Swag Entertainment, after normal time ended 3-3.
