Silver Bullets captured their third crown in the Guinness “Greatest of the Streets” Linden edition following a crushing 5-0 victory over Hardball Management on Saturday evening at the Retrieve hard court.
It was a commanding performance from the Silver Bullets unit, as the contest was effectively over at the halftime break following a 3-0 advantage.
Damion Williams opened the scoring in the sixth minute, before Colwyn Drakes doubled their advantage as he scored in the eighth minute. Amoniki Buntin then completed a perfect first-half period, as he netted in the 17th minute.
Drakes then sealed the result as he tallied a “Guinness Goal” [a goal scored in the final three minutes of normal time which counts as two] in the 28th minute.
With the win, Silver Bullets walked away with $500,000 and the championship trophy. They also earned an automatic berth to the national championship in Georgetown during the month of August. The losing side received $400,000 and the runner-up trophy.
In the third-place playoff, Turf President crushed Spaniards 4-0. Anthony Layne, Kelroy Anthony, Malachi Todd, and Floyd Headly found the back of the net in the fifth, sixth, ninth, and 10th minutes, respectively.

Meanwhile, in the earlier semi-final segment, Hardball Management downed Turf President 2-0. The contest, which was rescheduled owing to persistent rainfall on May 31, was settled following goals from Roshan Kitt and Yhanks Brummel in the 25th and 30th minutes, respectively.
