 – Trinidad and Tobago crowned champions

Team Back Circle, Guyana’s representative at the just concluded 2013 Guinness Caribbean Street Challenge Championship finished a disappointing fifth as Trinidad and Tobago are crowned champions after surviving a penalty shootout against Dominica in the final played on Saturday in St.Vincent & the Grenadines.
Guyana’s Team back Circle failed to advance to the semi-finals in this year’s regional tournament.
The Trinidadians defeated Dominica 2-0 in the penalty shootout after the game was tied at 1-1 at the end of regulation time.
Back Circle, competing in Zone “A” in the preliminary competition scored only one win beating Antigua/Barbuda 2-0. They lost to eventual winners Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 and bowed out to St. Lucia in a penalty shootout 2-1 in the battle for a semi-final place. Daniel Favorite scored Guyana’s only goal in the penalty shootout.
The Guyanese finished one place behind last year’s winners and host St. Vincent and the Grenadines who also failed to impress as new teams emerged in the regional event.
Dominica will be one of the teams to watch in the future after they lost in the final. They had beaten St. Lucia 1-0 in the semi-final.
The Trinidad and Tobago team defeated St. Kitts/Nevis 1-0 in the other semi-final match.
The Trinidadians secured a first prize of US $4,000 and the opportunity to be a part of a Futsal coaching course in Jamaica for players and one team official.
Dominica took home US$2,000, while St. Lucia who defeated St. Kitts 3-0 in the third place play off won US$1,500 with the St. Kitts side receiving US$1,000.
Eight regional teams took part in the second annual Guinness Street Football Challenge. The inaugural tournament was held in Guyana last year, while the team returned home Sunday morning.
