Defending champions Ballerz Empire will battle first-time finalist Jetty Gunners for the Guinness “Greatest of the Streets” West/East Bank Demerara crown on July 26, following semi-final wins on Saturday evening.
At the Pouderoyen Tarmac, the Ballerz Empire bested Cayenne Massive 3-0. Solomon Austin recorded the only conversion of the first half as he found the back of the net in the third minute.
Dorwin George then sealed the outcome as he recorded a Guinness Goal (GG) – a goal scored in the final three minutes that counts as two – in the 38th minute.
In the second semi-final fixture, Jetty Gunners squeaked past the three-time champions Showstoppers 2-1 on penalty kicks after regulation and extra time ended scoreless.
Showstoppers commenced the shootout in the form of Dexroy Adams, who converted. Jermin Junior then equalised for Jetty Gunners as he calmly slotted home.
Showstoppers then failed to convert from the distance as Stephon Jupiter rolled his effort wide of the lower right corner. Jetty Gunners would then capitalise on their opponents’ failure to seal the win as Kevin Cummings scored.
The losing teams will contest the third-place play-off.
