Team Cruel, California Square, North East La Penitence, Gold is Money, Back Circle A and B and Bent Street A secured wins on the opening night of the inaugural Bent Street “Champion of Champions” futsal tournament on Tuesday at the National Gymnasium.

The opening game of the night saw Stabroek Ballers and Mocha All-Stars sharing points with a goal coming from Stabroek’s Mark John and Mocha’s Devon Padmore as the respective keepers managed to perform.
Team Cruel secured the inaugural win of the night against North Ruimveldt. A strike from Kanye Peters was just enough to carry his team over the line, thanks to their passive style of play throughout the game. The scoreline read 1-0.
Antwone Vanscellos’ two goals and an own goal from Linden All-Stars Mickel Jeffers were enough to carry California Square over the line, as they animated the defence of Linden All-Stars with the scoreline reading 3-2. Jeffers and Kevin Gentle netted one goal apiece for Linden All-Stars.
North East La Penitence asserted their dominance once again, with a double coming from Melvin Moore and one goal each from Lennox Cush and Samuel Hunte as they penetrated the Street Vybz defence, to secure a 4-nil win.
Filled with a mixture of youth and experience, Gold is Money managed to walk away with a win, clinching a 2-1 victory over LA Ballers. Stephen Jupiter and Andrew Murray scored one goal each for Gold is Money while Kehance Scott scored the lone goal for Ballers.
Back Circle B and Sparta Boss battled it out on the court, but the end result of the game would see both teams ultimately sharing points. Sparta Boss’s Ome Harriss netted the opening goal which resulted in many attempts on goal and Back Circle’s Kellon Gordon equalised the score.
Back Circle continued their streak as the A side secured a phenomenal 4-1 win over Bent Street B despite an early goal from Bent Street’s Dany Ross. Back Circle made their comeback with Simeon Moore adding a double followed by one goal each from Amos Ramsey and Beveney Marks.
Bent Street A, although missing some of their key players still managed to conclude the night with a 1-0 win against z-TEKK Family, with Denzil Shultz scoring the lone goal.
The exhilarating action will continue in the group stage on Saturday, October 19 at the same venue.
