NK Ballers produced a sterling performance when they met Team 25 in the Linden leg of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Street’, which continued with six matches on Friday evening at the New Silvercity Tarmac.
NKBallers trounced their opponents 6 – 1 with a Guinness Goal (two goals) each coming from Kenard Simon and Keon Sears in the 18th and 30th minutes.
The match saw Team 25 snatch the lead as early as the third minute, when Teon Stewart scored; but a ninth minute goal from Donovan Francis and a 12th minute strike from the boot of Jermin Grandison levelled the match, then gave the eventual victors the lead.
