Two time defending champion Swag Entertainment, Universal Ballers, Anybody Got It, and Speightland earned semi-final berths following quarter-final wins in the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Linden Championship on Wednesday evening at the Amelia Ward/Wisroc Car Park.
Swag Entertainment squeaked past former two time champion Silver Bullets 1-0. Colwyn Drakes found the back of the net in the ninth minute, rifling a powerful right footed shot from the right side of the field which settled into the left corner.
On the other hand, Dark Horses Anybody Got It defeated Exodus 2-0. Shawn Arthur recorded a ‘Guinness Goal’ [a goal scored in the final three minutes counts as two] in the 18th minute.
Meanwhile, Universal Ballers edged YMCA by a 1-0 score-line. Mortimer Giddings recorded the only conversion via a strike in the fourth minute. Also, Speightland defeated Street Warriors 2-1 on penalty kicks, after regulation time ended scoreless.
The tournament concludes tomorrow at the same venue with the semifinal section, the resulting third place playoff, and the eventual championship final. The winner of the event will pocket $400,000 and the championship trophy, whilst the second, third, and fourth place finishers will receive $300,000, $150,000, and $80,000 respectively.
