A massive turnout witnessed Sparta Boss, Uprising, Plaisance and North East La Penitence securing spots in the knockout round of the Guinness Cage Street-ball Championships, which continued on Saturday at the Haslington Tarmac.
Uprising brushed aside Beterverwagting (BV)-B 3-1, with David Wilson recording a brace in the third and 12th minutes, while Phillip Williams accounted for the other goal in the sixth minute. Edun Fraser’s seventh-minute goal was the only opening
allowed the opposition.
North East La Penitence defeated Victoria Church Yard by a similar scoreline, as Keifer Brandt fired in a hat-trick. He scored in the fifth, eighth and 10th minutes, while Shemar McPherson scored the opposition’s consolation goal.
Sparta Boss held firm to sink the Haslington Hypers 2-0. Jermin Junior was among the goals again, scoring in the fourth and ninth minutes.
Meanwhile, Plaisance stunned Belfield Warriors 1-0 on penalty kicks, after normal time ended the game scoreless. It was a cagey affair, and it played into the hands of the Plaisance unit.
