Buxton Diamond, Sparta Boss aiming for opening glory

Three Peat Promotions/Guinness Cage Competition…

Melanie B, Blazers, Avacado Ballers, Sparta Boss, Paradise, Melanie A, North East La Penitence, Victoria Church Yard, Buxton Diamond, Plaisance B, Uprising and hosts Haslington Hypers will all be aiming to record wins when play in the Three Peat Promotions /Guinness Cage Competition resumes tomorrow evening, at the Haslington Market Tarmac.
The above-mentioned teams will be under immense pressure to register their first points in the exciting format, and fans could expect a night of riveting action on the East Coast where the support from the various communities has been tremendous.
Opening night action last Wednesday produced some surprises with defending Guinness “Greatest of the Streets” East Coast Zone champions Uprising falling to Vryheid’s Lust narrowly, while the highly-successful Sparta Boss went down to reigning champions Ol Skool Ballers in similar fashion.
Buxton Diamond, one of the pre-tournament favourites to come out of the East Coast teams, were also stunned, losing to BV B 1-0, while the home team, Hypers, fared even worse against Alexander Village, losing by a 6-2 margin and will no doubt want to improve their performance in front of the expected large home crowd.
On the other hand, teams such as Vryheid’s Lust, BV B, Albouystown, Victoria Eagles, Belfield Warriors and Kitty Hustlers will want to build on their points.
The five-day tournament dubbed “the East Coast Best versus the Rest” pits the best teams from the East Coast corridor against the finest selection from Georgetown and is organised to foster integration among the participating communities in an effort to create a better understanding among inhabitants.
Among the entities in support of the cause are: Banks DIH under its Guinness and Power Wine brands; Clarks footwear giants Chetsons; E-Networks Inc; KSM Investments; Yhip’s Bakery; Brass Aluminium & Cast Iron Foundry (BACIF); Ray’s Auto Sales; YK Investments; Trophy Stall; Express Shipping; Woodpecker Products; National Sports Commission; C Division of the Guyana Police Force; Jai Signs & Auto Designs; Gaming Authority; Julius Variety Store and C & C Prestigious Styles.
