Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’: West Side’ play semi-finals tonight

The semifinal stage of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ West/East Bank Demerara edition will commence this evening at the Pouderoyen Tarmac with only four teams remaining after conclusion of the quarterfinal round.
In the opening semifinal fixture, at 20:00hrs, Cayenne Massive will lock horns with defending champions Ballerz Empire. Cayenne Massive have been in a clinical mood during the tournament, and have registered commanding victories over ESPN and Family by scores of 5-0.
On the other hand, Ballerz Empire have battled their way into the semifinals following a 2-1 victory over Sunshine Ballers and a 2-0 win over Epic Touch Family.
The second semifinal fixture will pit Jetty Gunners against three-time champions Showstoppers in a match that begins at 21:00h.
Jetty Gunners secured their place in the semifinal stage by wins over Pouderoyen Brothers and No Mercy by the identical score of 2-0.
On the other hand, Showstoppers defeated Westside Ballers 2-0 and crushed Goal Getters 3-0 in their previous matches, to send a strong warning to the field.
Eventual winners would advance to the final, while the losers would contest the third-place playoff. The tournament winner would secure an automatic berth to the National Championships in September.
Event coordinator Travis ‘Zoti’ Bess has said, “The tournament has produced quality encounters, with some unexpected results occurring, which highlights the ever-improving quality of the competing teams. We have two of the usual suspects in Showstoppers and Ballerz Empire in the semifinals, and two teams who are relatively new to this stage, which (bodes) well for the growth of the tournament.
“I expect another competitive and exciting night. The fans have been very receptive and supportive of the event, which is evident by the large and increasing turnouts since the event commenced two weeks prior. All systems are in place for an exciting conclusion as the teams vie for the opportunity to represent the zone at the National Championships… scheduled for September. Once again, I would like to thank the fans for coming out and supporting their respective teams, and we hope that continues throughout the event and until the conclusion of the event’s season.”
