“Everybody know Leopold is a street football giant, but since 2012 at Guinness in the Streets, nobody ain’t see we back. So, we come back now to punch back. Come out and witness sparkling, exciting football. At Guinness in the streets, it’s a different trophy; this bragging rights trophy is different. This Guinness here does put you on the map, and we coming for it. Look out,” Hunte expressed.

So, you aint got to ask the feelings; we’re taking it one game at a time. We aint saying we going and win it, but we need it. So, definitely, we coming forward with we best foot forward and looking to put it in the cupboard.”
“That’s the only thing missing from the cupboard”, the Coach added.
