In that memorable final, defending champions Den Amstel were beaten by their lesser known opponents Eagles on sudden death penalty kicks after regulation time and normal penalty kicks failed to separate the two teams.
Strange enough, it was the less fancied Eagles FC that held their nerves to silence the home team and their fans to lift the championships trophy; they were led by their Captain Ezekiel Cox who was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
Presenting the championship trophy and medals to the champs was Trophy Stalls Sales Representative Leroy Jack who complimented the team for pulling off a major upset as the underdogs. Jack, on behalf of Manager of Trophy Stall Ramesh Sunich, pledged the entities continued support for the development of the game in the West Demerara.
Copping the trophy for scoring the most goals in the competition was Gavin Graham of Den Amstel while Eagles Goalkeeper Rockey Reddy was named the best goalie.
Den Amstel collected a trophy and medals for their second place while Bagotsville/Nismes also received a trophy for winning the third place game, trouncing Wales 3-0.
