Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition…Albouystown teams disappoint in front of massive home support

– Round of 16 commences tomorrow at NCC

In front of another massive outpouring of fans, Ol Skool Ballers salvaged the night for Albouystown teams by being the only one left standing as round robin action in the Georgetown Zone of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition ended on Saturday night in the Albouystown community.
They’ve now qualified for the Round of 16 which commences tomorrow evening at the National Cultural Centre (NCC) Tarmac where eight teams will advance to the quarter-finals, while the losing eight will commence a mini-competition for a winner-take-all prize of $60,000.
Despite being a bad night overall for the Albouystown community that has seen the largest turnout on both occasions they hosted the event, the fans were treated to eight exciting matches and everyone left satisfied that football had won and nothing else.
The night started with Albouystown-based Judgement Yard defeating Smyth Street 4-3 in a penalty shootout after their encounter ended 1-1.
However, the win was not enough to take them through to the next stage, having finished third in Group E.
It was a similar situation for Albouystown ‘B’ who beat Rising Stars 2-1, but ended third in Group ‘D’.
Albouystown ‘A’ lost a titanic matchup to Leopold Street 1-0 on penalty kicks after their clash failed to register goals in regulation time, sending them crashing out of the competition in disappointing fashion.
Other big losers on the night were Back Circle, who suffered a 4-1 defeat to Trap Squad, while Bent Street dispatched Sophia Bullies 3-1.
The winning team will receive $500,000, a trophy and an automatic berth in the national playoffs, while second, third and fourth place finishers will take home $250,000, $200,000 and $100,000 along with trophies.
