Tournament heavyweights Sparta Boss, Bent Street, Rio All-Stars, Gold is Money, Back Circle and Leopold Street progressed to the quarterfinals following round of 16 victories Saturday in the inaugural Rio Indoor Streetball Championship.

 In front of a large crowd at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue, the quintet of Sparta Boss, Rio All-Stars, Bent Street, Leopold Street and Rio All-Stars, stormed into the elite eight section following convincing victories. Gold is Money, another favourite team’s victory was unconvincing.

Newcomer Rio All-Stars highlighted the night with a 5-0 thrashing of Tiger Bay.
