BOSAI upsets star studded ‘Team 25’

Feb 05, 2013 Sports

El Dorado ‘A’ and Hard Knocks ‘2’ also victorious

BOASI upset Team ‘25’ 3 – 2 in extra time, El Dorado ‘A’ overpowered Kuru-Kuru Warriors 3 – 1 and Hard Knocks ‘2’ made light work of Classic Winners, brushing them aside 5 – 0 as the Unique Entertainment/Banks Premium Beer Futsal Classic continued on Sunday last at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court in Linden.
Team ‘25’ that featured the likes of former National forward Collie ‘the Hitman’ Hercules, Quacy Johnson, Ruel McKinnon and Keon Sears was the talk of the night since persons felt that they were one of the favourites to cart off the tournament’s $500,000 first prize.
Nonetheless, the little known side that is made up of employees from BOASI Mineral Inc. came into the contest with the exact aim as the rest of the competitors and being regarded as the underdogs, they played as if they had nothing to lose.
Once again the tournament attracted a massive crowd, probably the largest of the competition so far which will begin their round of 16 this weekend.
Sears sent Team ‘25’ to an early lead but BOASI’s custodian Kellon McCalmon who was the star of the night, denied several shots which seemed destined to pierce the back of the nets from Hercules and Johnson.
Orin Scott was able to pull one back as the scores ended leveled on a goal each. Already in a frenzy from the first half action, persons rose to their feet to take in the second stanza of the game which proved to be more thrilling.
Andrew Phillips scored three minutes into the second half and Sears once again scored as Team ‘25’ leveled the scores at 2 – 2.
However, McCalmon heroics to deny mostly the vicious Hercules coupled with an own goal by Ruel Williams in the closing minutes of extra time, resulted in the team many had to win, being sent home instead.
It was if BOSAI had won the final as their supporters engulfed the court in jubilation to acknowledge the team’s hard fought win.
Meanwhile, Clive DeNobrega netted a double while Seon ‘Parrot’ Brewley, Keon Cameron and Ronald Bristol scored a goal each for Hard Knocks ‘2’ who would now join their first unit team in the round of 16. Two goals from Dexter Garway and one from Jermaine McBean was enough to see El Dorado ‘A’ past Kuru-Kuru Warriors.
Meanwhile, the tournament will continue on Wednesday as the final set of matches from the Round-of-32 will be played.
In the opening game from 7:00 hours will see Young Spartans and Ambassadors going head-to-head, while El Dorado ‘B’ will attempt to emulate their first string team performance as they face Top ‘7’.
Block 22 is down to face Hot Skull FC and Top Class will play Avengers in the night’s final game.
