Guinness “Greatest of the Streets”: Semifinals set in Linden Championship

Defending champions Swag Entertainment are among four teams that would do battle tomorrow night in the Guinness “Greatest of the Streets” Semifinals at the Amelia Ward/Wisroc Car Park.
Semifinal action which would also involve Anybody Got It, Universal Ballers and Speightland will be followed by the staging of the grand finale, also on Saturday night.
The four teams have each booked their place in the semis following convincing quarterfinal victories on Wednesday night at the same venue. Defending champions Swag Entertainment edged Silver Bullets 1-0 to book their semifinal spot. Colwyn Drakes was the man on target for Swag Entertainment in the 9th minute.

Meanwhile, Universal Ballers were actually the first team to secure their semifinal berth, by virtue of a narrow victory over YMCA. Universal Ballers’ Mortimer Giddings netted what would be the only goal of the game, in the 4th minute, to hand his team the win.
Meanwhile, a fierce battle between Speightland and Street Warriors went all the way down to penalty kicks. The game ended in a stalemate after regulation time, and as such, the victor had to be decided on penalties. From that spot, Speightland prevailed 2-1.
A Shawn Arthur Guinness Goal (counts as two goals) in the dying minutes of the final game brought excitement to both spectators and the Anybody Got It team. Anybody Got It were at the time opposing Exodus for the last semifinal spot, and they eventually won 2-0.
The eventual winner of the Linden version of the “Greatest of the Streets” tournament is set to cart off a $400,000 grand prize. the second-place finisher will have to settle for $300,000, while third- and fourth-place finishers would pocket $150,000 and $80,000 respectively.
The semifinals, third place playoff and finals would also be held on Saturday night.
