Hard Knocks, Amelia’s Ward Russians final
Watched by a capacity crowd that resembled a Carnival atmosphere, Hard Knocks and
Amelia’s Ward Russians recorded similar wins against their opponents to set up a mouth watering finale in this year’s edition of the Linden Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Football Competition.
In semi-final action played at the Wisroc / Amelia’s Ward Bus Park on Thursday evening, Hard Knocks via the penalty shootout defeated Pokerburg 2-1 after regulation and extra time failed to break the 0-0 deadlock, while Amelia’s Ward Russians won by a similar margin against Retrieve Unknowns after a comparable sequence as the first game could not separate the two teams.
They both now have the opportunity to play for the top prize of $500,000 for the winner, while the loser takes home $250,000, 3rd place-$150,000 and 4th place finisher $100,000.
Pokerburg and Retrieve Unknowns will now have to battle each other for the minor positions, but their encounter promises to produce fireworks as well since they are two teams that possess players with an abundance of skills in this format of the game.
With the Linden Town Week celebrations in full swing, many overseas-based Guyanese from the Mining community have returned home for the annual event and many of them are expected to still be around for the May 5 finals to be played at the same venue. At the completion of the finals, outstanding players will also be recipients of special prizes compliments of the sponsor Banks DIH.
Full results: Game 1 – Pokerburg 0 Hard Knocks 0. Hard Knocks Won on penalty shootout 2-1
Game 2 – Amelia’s Ward Russians 0 Retrieve Unknowns 0. Amelia’s Ward Russians won on penalty shootout 2-1
