Beterverwagting/Triumph shock Western Tigers in thriller
NAMILCO
Beterverwagting/Triumph came in as a late replacement after recently crowned K&S football champions, Buxton United, opted out of the tournament. They took advantage of the opportunity and emerged victorious with a 1-0 victory over favourites, Western Tigers, when action in the Fruta Conquerors One Love Classic NAMILCO knockout football tournament resumed at the Tucville Ground Friday evening last.
The match had all the ingredients of a final and the spectators were treated to a high quality game between two equally determined sides. The echo of the first whistle had barely diminished when Kelvin Williams latched on to a loose ball and slammed home a success for the East Coast team. Surprisingly, amidst a strong challenge from the ‘Tigers,’ the goal held to the end.
Fruta Conquerors refused to make similar blunders and managed to stave off Houston Stars FC 3-0 to stay on course for championship honours. The latter team came in as a late substitute for Beacons FC following its reluctance to take the field for the match. Dwayne Lawrence netted a brace in the 27th and 60th minutes for the winners and was supported by Delon Williams who scored in the 86th minute.
The tournament continues this evening with two exciting games; at 18:00hrs, Santos FC will tackle Netrockers while at 20:00hrs, Camptown will battle against Pele.
Fifteen teams are competing for a first place prize of $1.2M while the runners up collect $600,000. The 3rd and 4th place finishers receive $400,000 and $200,000 respectively. Players will also compete for two computer scholarships compliments of Global technology while Junior’s Jewelry has donated one gold chain. Bayridge Taxi Service has donated cell phones as special prizes.
