Last Friday night is one that Bent Street will remember for months to come as the curtains came down on the “Keep Your 5 Alive” Futsal championship with the Georgetown outfit claiming the top spot.

In a hotly-contested final at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH), Bent Street overcame arch-rivals Sparta Boss 5-2 on the back of a brace from Bevney Marks and one each off the boots of Solomon Austin, Neron Barrow and Adrian Aaron.
Subsequently speaking with Guyana Times Sport, Aaron reflected on the final matchup.
“Coming into this game, we stuck to our game plan; that’s the main thing we did. We had a game plan for the game, and tonight the fellas stuck to their game plan, and we executed very well,” Aaron told this publication.
Having been knocked out early in their last tournament, Aaron went on to label this win as redemption for Bent Street.
He explained, “Yes, it’s really redemption for us. Knowing that we had setbacks in the previous tournament and all our fans were disappointed in us, we regroup, and we come again in this tournament, and we show why we are Bent Street.”
Confident of doing well in any upcoming tournament, Aaron expressed his pleasure at winning after a championship drought.
“It always feels pleasing to win a tournament every year. At least, I think, for the past two years we did not win anything; Sparta beat us in two so far – the last two finals we were in; and tonight we come and show them why we are Bent Street again,” Aaron shared.
Adding to Bent Street’s celebrations, their player Bevney Marks was named MVP of the tournament.
For their efforts, Bent Street carted off $1.1 million and the championship trophy, while Sparta Boss had to settle for $550,000. Third-place winners North East La Penitence received $275,000 after a 3-2 victory over Back Circle, who had to settle for fourth place and a $137,000 reward.
