– semi-finals, final set for Easter Monday
Turned the hunted following their debut achievement last year, defending champions Uprising could not reproduce the performance required to successfully defend their crown after being booted from the main draw in this year’s East Coast Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Competition.
Played before another capacity crowd at the Haslington Market Tarmac, the former champs failed to win any game in the round robin phase on the second night of action, losing both games to Belfield Warriors and Paradise A respectively to make their exit from the main draw.
They, however, could redeem themselves if they manage to win the Plate Competition which has a winner-take-all prize of $60,000 plus a trophy.
They first lost to Belfield Warriors 1-0 via penalty kicks after a nil-all draw in regulation time, before conceding their next encounter 1-0 to hot favourites Paradise A, who has been rightly installed as the team to beat.
Paradise will now face Lilliendaal Hustlers, who turned on the heat on BV A to secure their semi-final spot via goal difference.
Also making the last four are Melanie-B and Victoria Church Yard who will collide for a place in the final.
